Which plants can forecast the weather?

We know that before it rains, animals will have some different behaviors, such as dragonflies flying low and ants moving. In fact, plants can also predict the weather as long as they are carefully observed.

sunflower

Sunflowers are also called "immortal flowers". When I was a child, I planted several pots of sunflowers, which bloomed brilliantly at 10 in the morning. At noon, I found that it was all closed and a little faded. Before long, the sky was overcast and it rained cats and dogs in the afternoon. After observing several times, before it rains, the sun flowers will turn from blooming to closing. Therefore, a few pots of sunflowers at home have become ready-made weather forecasters.

Mimosa pudica

We all know that mimosa leaves will close when we touch them, but actually mimosa can also predict the weather. In the past, the teacher told us that if we touch the leaves of mimosa with our hands, the leaves will close quickly, but it will take a long time to open, which indicates a sunny day. This means that the weather will last for several days. If you touch the leaves, you will close them quickly and open them quickly, which means it will rain soon. At that time, my classmates had just planted a pot of mimosa, and we observed it several times. As the teacher said, mimosa can also predict the weather.

four o'clock

I have planted rose and white mirabilis jalapa before, and the flowers are a bit like horns. Mirabilis jalapa blooms at night and withers in the morning, with a rich fragrance. Mirabilis jalapa can also predict weather. If Mirabilis jalapa withers at dawn, it will be sunny. If the mirabilis jalapa withers later, it will rain that day.

onion

Onion is also called Yulan. From its name, we can know that it can forecast the weather. Onions bloom before and after it rains in summer, and will bloom more brightly when it rains. Onions are easy to feed and flowers are beautiful. You might as well keep a pot of onions at home to forecast the weather.
