I originally provided the power supply used with the flower. It was a 
spare Altex Lansing computer speakers power supply (off-white color, 
wall wart style).

IIRC, It was 12v at 800ma, 2.1mm coaxial power connector, center 
positive. The board it connects to is one I built. It is a Basic Stamp 
carrier board and I added a 7805 regulator with a heat sink to dissipate 
the different tween 12v and 5v.

The unit should run fine on anything from 6v to 15v DC center positive 
power supply. I have similar units I will bring along tonight so the 
flower can be a robot and not art. ;)
