Flowers That Can Sense the Weather

Some flowers do more than just bloom beautifully—they can actually sense and respond to weather changes! Discover 5 perennial flowers that act like nature’s tiny weather forecasters.

Morning Glory

Morning glories open wide in clear, sunny weather. But if they remain tightly closed, rain may be on the way!

Tulips

Tulip petals respond to light and humidity. If the weather turns cloudy or wet, they close up gently to protect their pollen.

Daisies

Daisies close their petals at night or before a storm. If you see them tightly shut during the day, bad weather might be coming.

Crocus

Crocuses bloom only when the temperature is just right. If they’re slow to open, it could signal cold or damp weather.

Rose Mallow

Hibiscus flowers tend to droop and close in high humidity or before rain, hinting at a weather shift before it begins.
