Q : What wind speed is needed for the flower to turn?
Thanks to its Ø30cm petals, a light breeze (starting at 5-10 km/h, force 2 on the Beaufort scale) is enough to set the flower in motion. In an exposed garden or on a balcony, the rotation is almost continuous from spring to autumn. In calm weather, the flower remains static but retains all its decorative value.
Q : Can this pinwheel stay outside all year round?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The metal is frost-resistant (-20 °C) and treated with anti-UV for all four colors. Its thin metal stem tolerates strong winds without breaking — it can bend slightly and then return to its position. For exceptional storms, temporarily removing it is a reasonable precaution.
Q : What is the difference between these flower pinwheels and the insect pinwheels in the catalog?
The size and the design. The insect pinwheels (H46cm, bee/frog/flamingo) are much more compact and represent insects — they are also suitable for planters and balconies. These flower pinwheels (H104cm, Ø30cm) are more than twice as tall and wide — a large colorful flower that stands out in a garden or on a large balcony with a much stronger presence and animation.
Q : Do the 4 colors complement each other well in the same space?
Yes — Red + Green + Yellow + Orange are in a very coherent warm and natural palette. The Green brings balance and freshness to this predominantly warm palette. The four together in the same garden or along a path create a very festive composition without ever appearing overloaded.
Q : Is it a good gift for someone who loves colorful and cheerful gardens?
The most festive and immediately joyful metal gift in the catalog for this profile. A large red or orange flower that spins in the wind at H104cm in a garden — it's a gift that can be seen from afar, loved right away, and talked about with visitors. For a housewarming with a garden, a birthday, or simply to bring joy to an outdoor space.
