"An audio technology that turns plants and flowers into loudspeakers has been developed in Japan, although some experts remain sceptical about the idea," reports New Scientist.
"The speaker system, designed by Let's Corporation, a technology firm based in Okayama, southern Japan, mimics the way conventional audio speakers work. But it uses flowers instead of the conventionally used cone made of paper, plastic or metal, to generate sound waves."
