Bonsai Sunflower Dashboard

The sun is getting annoying. It just won't stop shining and it is getting on my wick. It's constant reflection of my cars dashboard on to the window is not only uncalled for, it is bordering on harassment.

I admit that a search of the internet showed up some anti glare mats for car dashboards. But they didn't seem either pretty enough nor particularly inspiring.

I thought a series of corrugations might reflect light in different ways and not onto the windscreen but that would probably only work if I only drove in a particular direction in comparison to the sun's position at any given time of the day. Good fun, but not the best way to find your way out of Baisingstoke.

Then it hit me. The reflecting surface needs to move according to the sun's position regardless of my driving direction. The next thought was obviously, sunflowers. They track the sun across the sky as it moves. They could do the same for me, tracking the sun from the comfort and safety of their dashboard mounted planter. I turn right, the sunflowers re-align themselves accordingly.

The sunflower's natural tendency towards height could limit this ideas potential. Hence the proposed use of Bonsai techniques to keep the flowers to a regulation height of approx 3cm.
