Thanks! And I guess it's just a common garden with floral clocks. What's a little strange to me is that usually I see only one floral clock in one park. Why use 'clocks' instead of 'clock' in this context? Does it mean that there are more than one floral clock in this garden?

Hi,
Clocks means more than one.
It as just my suggestion that they might be floral. We are just speculating.
