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

  • This year's edition of Edinburgh's floral clock in Princes Street Gardens honors the bicentennial of Braille's creation.
  • The clock, first created in 1903 by city Parks Superintendent John McHattie, is redesigned yearly to honor events or organisations selected by the city council.
  • Three gardeners started planting 40,000 flowers six weeks ago, covering nearly 200 square meters, using ladders to avoid damaging existing plants.
  • The floral clock features red and yellow flowers arranged to form the name of the charity honored this year, accompanied by a sign that reads "Celebrating 200 years of Braille."
  • The clock will remain on display until October before being taken down for winter and replanted next spring, with RNIB expressing honour in being featured this year.
