		<description><![CDATA[<p align="left"><img src="http://www.organicauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/solarflowerssf.jpg" align="right" hspace="15"/></p><p>Toyota’s <a href="http://www.organicauthority.com/blog/the-environment/solar-flowers-bloom-in-san-francisco/">Solar Flowers</a> exhibit has left San Francisco (see photo), arriving at its final tour stop in Glendale, Calif.</p>

<p>The oversized flower sculptures, on display at <a href="http://www.americanaatbrand.com/">The Americana at Brand</a>, are partially powered by solar panels on the backs of their petals and bases of their stems. Some of the flowers are up to 18 feet tall.</p>

<p>Five flowers provide seating for up to 10 people, access to free Wi-Fi service, and power to charge cell phones and laptops. Hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, now through Oct. 18.</p>

<p>The flowers are part of the <a href="http://www.toyota.com/prius-hybrid/">2010 Toyota Prius</a> marketing campaign, whose theme is “Harmony Between Man, Nature and Machine.”</p>

<p>Glendale bus riders will find solar-ventilation bus shelters spread throughout the area, which feature rooftop solar panels that help run fans and circulate air. This experience is designed to demonstrate the Prius’ Solar-Powered Ventilation System, which uses a fan to draw outside air into the cabin to reduce cabin temperature when the car is parked in direct sunlight.</p>

<p>“It’s exciting to see how the public has really embraced both the displays and the vehicle,” says Tim Morrison, corporate manager of marketing communications for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A.</p>
