Look for an unusual public art display to sprout in Seattle's Westlake Park this weekend. Dubbed "solar flowers," the 18-foot tall sculptures are part of a traveling exhibit to promote the upcoming launch of 2010 Toyota Prius.

But these aren't ordinary sculptures. With room to seat up to 10 people, the outdoor diplays are partially powered by solar power and include cell phone and laptop charging stations along with free Wi-Fi. (I guess it brings new meaning to the phrase flower power.)   

Toyota plans to install the five "solar flowers" later today at the downtown park, with the devices set to operate fom 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until Sept. 7. Seattle marks the fourth stop on the tour, with the solar flowers next scheduled to blossom in San Francisco and L.A.

In a press release, Toyota said that the exhibit is supposed to emphasize "the balance the Prius helps strike between the needs of man and nature."

Based on the photos from the instalations in New York and Chicago, the "solar flowers" look pretty cool. Maybe we'll have to stop by and give the Wi-Fi a try.
