We've seen our fair share of [camera-related concepts](http://www.engadget.com/tag/camera,concept) that are decidedly out there, but there's also thankfully some that are considerably more practical -- and sometimes even eventually become actual products. Hopefully that ends up being the case with this so-called HoodCap Flower which, as you can probably surmise, combines a lens hood and a lens cap in one flower-inspired contraption. Just twist the dial to open it up and take some pictures, and close it when you want to protect your lens. Not *quite* as protective as a proper lens cap, to be sure, but we're guessing plenty of folks would take that trade-off.
