Gaurdian of the flowers...

This is a real character from history...but cant remember his name!
A friend of mine bought it of the internet a few years ago hoping to resell it...it was going to cost a fortune, so I gave him £50, and brought it home in the front seat of the car wearing a seat belt....I did get a few strange looks.
I have given him some flowers to chill him out a bit. He is happy.
