Daisies

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 492.2 Hz, 94 cents sharp of B♭4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

Tap it to spin the big daisy: loves me, loves me not. Hands-on: pull the petals off one by one.

A daisy looks like one flower, but its yellow middle is made of many tiny flowers, and each white petal around it is a flower too. The name comes from the old words "day's eye," because many daisies open in the morning and close at night.

Tap it and the big daisy spins like a pinwheel, twice around, flinging off eight petals one after another while the small ones bob; then new petals fill the gaps. It plays the old game of pulling off petals one by one: "loves me, loves me not," and the last petal gives the answer. With ✋ Hands-on on, pull the petals off one by one (loves me, loves me not); each drifts down to the grass; reset puts them back.
