The blooming gadget connects wirelessly to the home's electricity meter and changes colour and shape depending on the amount of electricity used. When electricity use is low the flower glows a healthy greenish-blue and stands tall and open.
But as more lights and electrical appliances are turned on the flower closes up and turns red. If energy use remains high, the flower wilts and turns a deep purple before 'dying' - or going out.
The flowers are expected to sell for £60 when the prototype is developed into a commercial product. Via The Daily Mail
I think the product's quite cute and it's a good way to remind you about your electricity usage. But the price is way too steep. So, I doubt I would buy it.

The flower connects wirelessly to out home electrical bills..
How i obtains electricity to bloom and wilt and produce the different colours??
If electricity is 'stolen' to light up these flower, then aren't they also using up certain amount of the home's electricity??
Hmmmm..
I assume it shouldn't like 'steal' electricity to light up the flower... If it does, it kind of like defeat the whole purpose of it all ya? But it's cool right? Heh you guys try to come up with something equivlent for IPW and sell it cheaper can? :)
