We have seen robots imitating humans, walking or even acting on stage. Here’s something new. An electro-mechanical flower which can even wither and die unless you don’t save electricity. Very useful, for all of us.

English designer Carl Smith has come up with the “Wilting flower”. This flower changes its color from blue, to red, to yellow, to purple, then finally turns off, as your power demands increase. Even more interesting is that as the color changes gradually, the petals slowly close themselves similar to real flowers, and even tilts over in its vase.

Although the Wilting flower is in its earlier stage of development, once in the market, it will cost you $90.
