There were more than a few times at Comic-Con when I wish one of these pretty flowers was around. Forget first impressions, this giant daisy is much more than a piece of public art, it's a gadget-charging Wi-Fi station, brought to you by Toyota.

Proving they are much more than just the makers of enviro-friendly cars, the Prius parents are installing these solar-powered in a few select U.S. cities to increase "Harmony between Man, Nature and Machine." Can't argue with that, and when you're on your last battery leg with no charger in sight, these daisies would be more than welcome. After all, we're a generation of people who just can't live without the internet!

You can find and utilize the solar-powered daisies in Boston, New York, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, or Los Angeles.
