The plants surrounding the sundial demonstrate bio-rhythm, opening and closing at different times. Four-o'clocks are planted at the 4 block. Magic evening primroses 'Tina James', encircle the area. Flowers open in 15 seconds, quite a spectacular sight! Also planted here:

    Evening Primroses
    Portulaca 'Sundial'
    Sunflower 'Sunspot'
    Coreopsis 'Sunray'
    Morning Glory
    Thyme
    Four-O-Clock
    Moonvine
The child casts the shadow that tells the time. Step between the blocks of the current month. Raise your right hand and your shadow tells the time. This analemmatic sundial is set up for daylight savings time.
