RE: "hour of flowers"


Which AARP issue, Judy?  I'd like to check that out myself.  Let me know if
you find anything.

Blessings,

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,
