This wind spinner is shaped like an open lotus flower. The outer petals turn one way while the inner ring turns the other, so in a breeze the whole flower seems to bloom and fold on its stake. It's a small, bright piece of garden decor in red or blue that rises just above the garden bed, with a decorative finial and stacked metal balls at the centre.

Why It Stands Out

• Two rings, two directions — the outer petals and inner ring turn against each other, so the motion is fuller than a single pinwheel
• Lotus flower shape — curved metal petals that look like a flower even when the air is still
• Decorative centre — stacked metal balls and a finial on top finish the piece
• Metal, finished for outdoors — iron with a rust-resistant finish that handles sun and rain
• 90 cm stake with a 4-prong base — the 4-prong anchor grips in lawn, beds and loose soil and holds it steady
• Red or blue — a splash of colour for a green garden bed
• Easy gift — bright, cheerful and quick to put together with the included screwdriver. A simple choice among gifts for gardeners

Where to Put It

• Garden beds and borders — the 20 cm head sits just above low plants
• Pots and planter boxes — push the stake into a large pot on a balcony or deck
• Lawns — one spinner makes a small focal point. It mixes well with other garden ornaments such as statues and solar lights
• Along a path or fence — several in a row, or mix red and blue
• Front yard — adds colour you notice as you walk in

How It Works

1. The outer petals catch the wind — curved to pick up air from any direction.
2. The inner ring turns the other way — on its own bearing, so the two layers counter-rotate.
3. Bearings keep it smooth — both layers turn freely, starting in light breezes and spinning faster in stronger ones.

How to Put It Together

1. Lay out the parts — petal sets, centre balls, finial, stake sections, base and screws.
2. Assemble the head — follow the diagram and fix the petal sets to the hub with the screws and nuts. A screwdriver is included.
3. Join the stake sections — to reach the full 90 cm.
4. Fit the head to the stake, then press the 4-prong base firmly into the soil.
5. Leave room around it — so the petals can turn freely in every direction.
Tip: an open spot away from walls and dense hedges gets the most movement.

Care and Maintenance

• Tighten the screws each season — constant movement can loosen them over time
• Wipe it down — a dry cloth keeps the colour bright
• Dry it after heavy rain — wiping off standing water helps the finish last
• Bring it in for storms — lift it out before strong winds or hail
• Expect some fading — Australian sun fades any painted finish over time, and a shadier spot slows it
