High-Tech Flower Power Tool Keeps You From Killing Plants
LAS VEGAS — Parrot, the company behind the popular AR. Drone quadcopter , has revealed a prototype of its not-yet-launched Flower Power smart gardening gadget, which allows users to get data in real time about how to best care for plants, flowers and your lawn. Whether you're a gardening pro or kill every plant you own, the Flower Power device — which is shaped like a pair of shears and comes in emerald or brown — measures sunlight, humidity, temperature and fertilizer.

On a Wednesday evening, there's a room filled with a handful of people, talking about their plants. The ones they have, the ones they want and the ones that've passed on to that big flower pot in the sky. "Someone gave me an aloe plant two weeks ago, and I'm already killing it," one person says."Welcome to the world of killing unkillable plants," another responds.
