A moon garden, also known as a twilight garden, [1] evening garden, [2] night garden, [1] moonlight garden, [3] or dream garden, [4] is a type of garden designed to be enjoyed at dusk and nighttime. Fragrant flowers, light-colored vegetation or blooms that are visible by moonlight , blossoms that open at night instead of day, and plants which ...
The white flowers are not usually placed in clusters, but spread throughout the garden's green areas, creating a natural look and feel. The mildly dense placement of white flowers creates a luminescent sight that is especially powerful in the twilight. Because of this effect, they are sometimes called moon gardens. [9]
Pupillometer, also spelled pupilometer, is a medical device intended to measure by reflected light the size of the pupil of the eye. [1] In addition to measuring pupil size, current automated pupillometers may also be able to characterize pupillary light reflex .
The tall clusters of white flowers on this perennial plant will open at night and shine under the moon from mid to late summer. They can grow two to three feet tall and each stem can bear a dozen ...
Linnaeus's flower clock was a garden plan hypothesized by Carl Linnaeus that would take advantage of several plants that open or close their flowers at particular times of the day to accurately indicate the time. [1] [2] According to Linnaeus's autobiographical notes, he discovered and developed the floral clock in 1748. [3]
A flower garden or floral garden is any garden or part of a garden where plants that flower are grown and displayed. This normally refers mostly to herbaceous plants, rather than flowering woody plants, which dominate in the shrubbery and woodland garden , although both these types may be part of the planting in any area of the garden.
[1] [6] The flower stem is known as a pedicel, and those flowers with such a stem are called pedicellate, while those without are called sessile. [7] In the angiosperms, the flowers are arranged on a flower stem as an inflorescence. Just beneath (subtended) the flower there may be a modified, and usually reduced, leaf, called a bract.
During the night, the flowers may assume a random orientation, while at dawn they turn again toward the east where the Sun rises. The motion is performed by motor cells in a flexible segment just below the flower, called a pulvinus. The motor cells are specialized in pumping potassium ions into nearby tissues, changing their turgor pressure.
