Growth is simulated by a sleeve outside the stem which descends in relation thereto to push the flower upwardly. A simulated corolla is attached to the stem and gradually rotates and opens during the ascent thereof. A cam controls the pivotal position of lifters which open and close the corolla. The petals of the corolla vibrate before opening and open with variations in starting time. As the corolla opens, a surprise gift, gradually ascending on a presentation platform, is revealed. The device may be reused.

Abstract: A device which simulates natural flowering actions, including growth and efflorescence, is actuated by partial immersion of a stem into a liquid. In one embodiment, a piston slidably disposed within the stem is driven upwardly by the bias force of a resilient spring while an agent which impedes the piston motion dissolves in the liquid. In another embodiment, the piston is pushed upwardly by an expansive force of a liquid-absorbing material. An inner stem, operably connected to the piston, is slidably disposed within the stem and projects upwardly therefrom. A simulated corolla is attached to the inner stem and gradually opens and rotates during an ascent thereof. The petals of the corolla, in one embodiment, open with individual variations in starting time, rate and extent. As the corolla opens, a surprise object, gradually ascending on a presentation platform, is revealed.

Abstract: Environmentally-friendly materials 1000 intended to be tossed into the air are constructed of water soluble materials which dissolve in the rain. These may also be made of materials which birds and squirrels may eat without doing them any harm. One preferred material, based upon its density and rigidity is rice papers. The materials are cut into pieces 1000 which are sized and shaped to resemble flower petals, confetti 1200 or a petal 1300 made to spiral down to the ground like a falling maple seed. The rice petals 1000, 1200, 1300 have a pale color to reduce the chances that they will stain the ground or other surfaces. These are designed to be used in areas which restrict throwing flower petals, which cause staining, rice, which harms wildlife, or confetti which must be cleaned up. The rice petals 1000, 1200, 1300 do not stain, may be eaten by wildlife and biodegrade in the environment. Since the material of the rice petals may be made of rice, they preserve the tradition of throwing rice at celebrations.
