How Cornflowers Predict the Weather: No Barometer Needed
Forecasters are wrong only once, but every day.
However, the same cannot be said about natural “barometers” – plants that are able to predict the weather.
Among such plants are the cornflowers, beloved by many.
If the weather outside is fine, you can be sure that the petals of the fluffy blue flowers are open and exuding a delicate aroma.
But as soon as rain appears on the horizon, rest assured: the cornflowers will immediately close their petals.
By the way, bindweeds, which are usually planted along a chain-link fence, have the same feature.
By the way, before you decorate your plot in this way, please note: untangling dried vines in the fall or spring is extremely problematic.
Let's return to our rams, that is, to the ability of flowers to predict bad weather.
In good weather, the flowers of the bindweed are open and smell pleasant, while in rain its flowers turn into tightly twisted tubes.
