### 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
