ABSTRACT:
A new simulated blooming flower for simulating the blooming of a flower when water is added. The device includes a container having a sieve therein which defines a reservoir. The sieve has a plurality of drainage apertures. An elongate stem extends from the sieve with the lower end of the stem positioned adjacent the sieve. A rod is disposed in the stem and a float is disposed in the reservoir and coupled to the lower end of the rod. Coupled to the upper end of the stem is a simulated flower having a plurality of simulated petals which are positionable between a closed position and an open blooming position. A plurality of actuating members is provided within the flower with upper ends of the actuating members positioned adjacent to the petals of the flower and lower ends of the actuating members positioned over the stem. A stamen assembly pushes the actuating members when the stamen assembly is upwardly extended such that the petals of the flower member are moved towards the blooming position.
