Spinning Ground Plant

This organically inspired replica of no plant in particular can blend in to your garden foliage until it begins spinning horizontally under a gentle breeze.  

To suspend your Spinning Flower above ground, a tent peg styled spike is provided and a flat base is also provided for hard ground.  The step file is provided for the bearing post to make it easy to lengthen for more ground clearance if desired.

A skateboard bearing (608) is required to be inserted into the Spinning Flower.   Super glue is needed to glue the bearing post to either the peg mount or flat mount.
