Toyota is using these giant solar flowers as part of its launch of the 2010 Prius. Each of the five, 18′ tall plant sculptures seats up to 10 people. Solar panels on the petals and stem provide passersby and free-loaders with free wi-fi and power to their laptops and small devices. The displays recently made an appearance in Boston’s Prudential Plaza and will be making additional summertime stops in New York (7/23 to 8/2 at Flat Iron Blg), Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Though the display is entitled “Harmony between Man, Nature, and Machine,” it appears to have been created by the set designer of an Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors.
