### 1. Some flowers can change color


Certain flowers, like hydrangeas, can change their color depending on the pH level of the soil they are planted in. Acidic soil produces blue flowers, while alkaline soil results in pink blooms.

2. Flowers have a secret language

During the Victorian era, people used flowers to send secret messages. This practice, known as floriography, assigned meanings to different flowers, allowing people to communicate feelings and emotions without using words.

3. The world's largest flower is also a parasite

The Rafflesia arnoldii, also known as the corpse flower, is the world's largest flower, with blooms measuring up to 3.3 feet (1 meter) in diameter. Interestingly, it is also a parasitic plant, deriving its nutrients from other plants.

4. Some flowers only bloom at night

While many flowers bloom during the day, some species, like the Moonflower and the Night-Blooming Cereus, only open their petals at night. These nocturnal flowers are typically pollinated by night-flying insects and bats.

5. The Titan Arum smells like rotting flesh

The Titan Arum, also known as the corpse flower, produces a strong odor reminiscent of rotting flesh when it blooms. This scent attracts carrion beetles and flies, which help pollinate the plant.
