Plants have a special kind of clock inside them that helps them know when to bloom. It’s like they’re watching the days get longer or shorter, and when they notice enough change, they start blooming! Think of it like this: if you count how many days pass between sunrise and sunset, and then wait for the right number, you’ll know when it's time to grow flowers.
Examples
- A sunflower turns toward the sun every day like it's saying 'Hello!'
- A tulip waits until the days get longer before it starts showing off its colorful face.
- An apple tree knows when to bloom so that bees will come and help pollinate its flowers.
