Just saw this in the AARP magazine. Linnaeus devised a floral clock, using
plants that reliably boom at a specific time of day, planted in the
corresponding area of the clock face. For example, sandwort blooms at 3 pm.
Has anyone heard of this? Know where I could find a list of plants that bloom
at specific times? Seems like this would be a neat thing to do with grandkids.
Not much specific info in the magazine, just one of those filler snippits.
Thanks,
