It’s the work of the Science Museums Inventor-in-residence, Mark Champkins. Inside the petals are bi-metallic strips – a sandwich of copper and steel.  The copper responds to the heat of the bulb by expanding, the steel doesn’t, resulting in the realistic bend.

Or inside a large eye-filling glass pendant: Three in a row over a kitchen island unit…heaven.
