Petal Time Clock
2005-11-06 10:07 pm

Carl Linnaeus created the "Petal Time Clock". His findings found that different species of flowers open at different times everyday. For example, he discovered that the hawk's beard plant, opened its flowers at 6:30 am, whereas another species, the hawkbit, did not open its flowers until 7 am. After much research into this, he soon concluded that one could tell the time of day simply by watching the flowers in their garden. This method of keeping time did not catch on with everyone.
