Clock made of 40,000 flowers marks 200 years since invention of Braille

Edinburgh showcased its annual floral clock in Princes Street Gardens this year to commemorate the bicentennial of Braille’s creation.
The clock, first created in 1903 by Parks Superintendent John McHattie, is redesigned each year to honor an organization, anniversary, or event chosen by the City Council.
A team of three gardeners planted 40,000 flowers covering nearly 200 square meters using ladders to avoid disturbing existing plants.
The floral clock displays red and yellow flowers forming the charity’s name, accompanied by a plaque commemorating "200 years of Braille." The RNIB expressed their pride in being selected to be featured in this year's Edinburgh Floral Clock.
The clock will remain on display until October before being taken down for winter and replanted with a new design next spring.
