What is the height of the floral clock in frankfort kentucky?

I can't find anything that says exactly, but most of the descriptions of the clock say "Built in 1961, Kentucky's Floral Clock is planted with 13,000 Alternanthera and Santolina foliage plants. The planter is 34 feet in diameter and weighs 200,000 pounds. The base is faced with native Kentucky Field Stone. The minute hand is 20-1/2 feet long and weighs 530 pounds. The hour hand is 15-1/2 feet long and weighs 420 pounds."





Judging from the picture, it's probably about 20 to 25 feet tall. Take a look at this picture on this guy's blog (he visited the clock).
