Japanese Invention Turns Flowers Into Loudspeakers

Post by Tombstone »

Green-fingered gardeners have long espoused the positive benefits of talking to plants.



Now a gadget developed in Japan is allowing flowers to answer back - with music.



Called Ka-on, which means "flower sound" in Japanese, the gadget consists of a doughnut-shaped magnet and coil at the base of a vase.



It hooks up to a CD player, TV or stereo and relays sounds up through a plant's stem and out via the petals.
