DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(16) As generally understood and demonstrated in the drawings, system 10 provides shades to plant 42. Shade assembly 40 includes center hub 14 constructed and arranged to receive a plurality of shade petals 12 whereby male connectors 16 are constructed and arranged to meet with female receivers 20 formed within center hub 14. Each shade petal 12 is constructed and arranged with a top layer 32 a bottom layer 34 with shade cloth 22 positioned there between. Each shade petal 12 is further constructed and arranged with fasteners 18 to secure shade cloth 22 into position. Assembly 10 is secured into position utilizing ground receiver assembly 24 formed with a first panel 27 a second panel 29 and a pair of substantially horizontal supports 25 formed on the upper and terminal end of each of first panel 27 and second panel 29. Rod receiver 30 is positioned at the interface between first panel 27 and second panel 29 and has formed there in receiving cavity 31 constructed and arranged to receive extension rod 26 therein. Secondary extension 28 is constructed and arranged to mate with extension rod 26 and extend the height of shade assembly 40 above plant 42 as desired.

(17) Center hub 14 is further constructed and arranged with Rod receiver 36 mounted on bottom layer 34. 38 formed to receive terminal end 31 of secondary rod 28.

(18) In one embodiment, secondary rod 28 is adjustable along extension rod 26 such that a desired height for assembly 10 is achieved above plant 42.

(19) As generally understood, a user will position ground receiver 24 into a desired location. Each horizontal support 25 is used to urge ground receiver 24 into the ground. Primary support rod 26 is inserted into cavity 30 of ground receiver 24. Shade assembly 40 is attached to secondary extension 28 by inserting terminal end 31 into cavity 38 of rod receiver 36.

(20) In one embodiment, center hub 14 has added solar panels 40 to power LED's 42 with rechargeable batteries 44

(21) While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication, and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
