Designed to bloom during the day and close at night just like most real flowers do, Floralis Generica is a beautiful metallic sculpture that popped up in Buenos Aires back in 2002. The amazing aluminum and stainless steel art piece was created by Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano.

The metal came from unused aircraft factory aluminum that was surplus. Eduardo Catalano gave this to the city in appreciation for the free education he received from his country, and the engineering university in the background.
