== — r In contrast to the old is the new. The Floral Clock, which was built four years ago, is a symbol of the prog- ress and prosperity which Frankfort has enjoyed in the last few years. Located on the west grounds of the State Capitol, the clock's face consists of thousands of flowering plants arranged in a symmetrical design. These plants are changed regularly with the seasons. At the base of the clock is located a wishing well, and the money collected from this is used to benefit handicapped children. The Floral Clock has become a leading tourist attraction in Kentucky and has boosted Frankfort's economy as well as providing a spot of beauty in the landscape.
