Linnaeus, the father of taxonomy, made careful observations of flowering plants, and thus discovered a novel use for flowers. He showed that flowers can be used to:
A) Find the points of the compass B) Predict the weather C) Say whether or not your friend loves you D) Tell time during the day ü
Linnaeus discovered that certain flowers will open at a specific time each day, and therefore could be used to tell time. The University of Uppsala, where Linnaeus was a professor, has created such a flower clock.
