Hilda Xu's iNaturalist Journal Entry
Among my ten observations, I took a closer look at Asiatic dayflower (Commelina communis) by using OneZoom. According to OneZoom, it is placed in Commelina Genus, which is a genus of 211 dayflower species. It belongs to Commelina, Commelinaceae, Commelinales, Commelinids, Monocots, Angiosperms, Tracheophytes, Plante Kingdom.
One common adaptation of all the plants I observed is that they all have flowers. The unique colors and fragrances of these flowers attract pollinators, such as birds and insects, to help them transfer pollen and reproduce.
One unique adaptation of Marvel of Peru is that they only bloom in dusk and evening. This is because they attracts moths for pollination, and some moths are active during sunset and most of the moths are active during evening. Blooming in these periods of the day gives them an advantage for reproduction.
