The Argentine steel flower symbol is the representative of a hundred flowers. Its Spanish can be written as FloralisGenerico. The flowers are 23 meters high and the flower diameter is 16 meters when closed and 32 meters when open. The flowers consist of 6 large petals and weigh 18 tons in total. The base of the flower is a pool with a diameter of 44 meters. The steel flower was built in the garden of the United Nations Square in Recoleta District, the first district of Argentina, adjacent to the Law School of the University of Buenos Aires. The flower is mainly cast in stainless steel and aluminum, and it opens and closes in the morning and evening by manual electric control. The flowers open at dawn every day of the year (except during storms) and close at dusk. However, there are 4 days when the flowers will not bloom: National Day on May 25, Spring Festival on September 21, Christmas Eve on December 24, and New Year on December 31.
