There are many types of clock flowers, such as morning glories, peonies, barbata, and marigolds. There are also many that bloom at night, such as tobacco flowers, epiphyllum, etc. These flowers are called clock flowers because their flowering period is quite regular, usually blooming at a specific time. The reason for flowering is firstly because the body contains a biological clock, and secondly, it contains a clock enzyme.

1. What are they?

There are many types of clock flowers. For example, morning glories bloom at around four o'clock in the morning, peonies bloom at seven o'clock in the morning when the sun just comes out.

2. Why is it called clock flower

These flowers are called clock flowers because their flowering period is quite regular, usually blooming within a specific time. If it exceeds that time, the flowers will not bloom. The reason why this kind of flower blooms on time is that they contain a biological clock in their bodies, which is formed by gradually adapting to changes in the environment and will be passed down from generation to generation.

There is also a saying that its flowering pattern is related to the number of flowers in a day. There is a close relationship between changes in sunlight and temperature. It also contains a clock enzyme, which regulates physiological functions and can control flowering time. When the temperature rises, the enzymes in the body will increase, which will promote the flowers to bloom. When the temperature drops, the flowers will naturally wither.
