How many kinds of weather forecasters do you know in the plant kingdom?

Nature is amazing. It not only gives birth to all kinds of plants, but also gives them special skills. Some plants are not only good-looking and can be used for viewing, but also act as weather forecasters to predict the weather. Are you surprised? let's follow the editor to see what these magical plants are.

Mimosa

Mimosa is different from other plants. When touched by the outside world, the petiole is drooping and the small leaves are closed, just like a shy little girl. So people also call it Mimosa, afraid of ugly grass.

Mimosa is amazing. It can predict the change of weather. If you touch it with your hand, its leaves close quickly and open slowly, indicating that the weather will clear up. When the leaves contract slowly, droop slowly, or even close and reopen a little bit, it means that the weather will turn cloudy or it is going to rain.

Purple jasmine

Purple jasmine is also called "dinner flower". Because it blossoms at dusk and blossoms most noisily before and after dinner, it is also called dinner flower. In the evening, purple jasmine blossoms one after another, the color is bright, very beautiful.

Purple jasmine usually blossoms in the evening one day and wilts the next morning. We can judge whether the weather is good or bad according to the withering time of the flowers. if the flowers wither as soon as the day breaks, it indicates that it will be sunny that day. If the flowers wither later, it is a harbinger of cloudy and rainy weather.

Wind and rain flowers

Wind and rain flowers, also known as leek lotus, its flowers in bloom, a red, very good-looking. We can judge whether the weather is rainy or not according to the blooming condition of wind and rain flowers.

Because every time before rain, the outside atmospheric pressure drops suddenly, the weather is muggy, and the transpiration of wind and rain flowers is enhanced. The bulbs of flowers that store nutrients will produce a large number of hormones that promote flowering, resulting in a large number of flowers.

Typhoon grass

Typhoon grass is also called Dafengcao. "Grass is like its name", it has a close relationship with the wind, people often use it to predict typhoons. On the broad leaves of typhoon grass, in addition to longitudinal wrinkles, there are often one to four horizontal creases.

The number of horizontal creases represents the number of typhoons in that year, which is used by the indigenous residents of Taiwan's mountainous areas for years to judge the number of typhoons and to prevent them early.

Moss

Bryophytes, which we often see on underwater rocks or rocks. The proverb says, "if the water is covered with moss, there must be heavy rain", indicating that moss can well predict the weather to a certain extent.

This is because the air temperature dropped sharply before it rained. It causes the pressure on the water surface to decrease, thus causing the moss at the bottom of the river pond to surface.
