Like a never ending clockwork

Description: This rose runs on diesel and is harvested every year by train yards and airship companies for it's coiled brass that they remove from the petals. The boiler is in the roots and the fuel is pumped into the soil. Two spring valves on the side release at the flower's maturity to signal the harvest and also to ignite and switch a cogwork that releases the hinges of the petals from the stem base. The companies use the coiled brass tubing for their steam powered mechanics. A large celebration occurs each year to usher in the time of the brass harvest. The flowers also make lovely arrangements for festivities or to adorn any neovictorian parlor.

I did use a picture to get the smoke, it is royalty free and public and is located here:
