Park and take a short stroll around Fairhope's unique, 30ft round Floral Clock, which was dedicated in December 2013. The clock's face is made up of mostly pansies with poinsettias in key spots to denote number positions. As the seasons shift, flowers will be changed out. When your admiration is completed, head to the GZ where you will be looking for a cache which contains a log only. **Congrats to shalimargeosearchers for FTF! And congrats on your 366 day achievement.
