A town that uses Linnaeus’ ‘Flower Clock’

For those who don’t know:

Carl Linnaeus’ flower clock works because each type of plant opens and then closes its flower at a specific time of day. It’s technically called ‘Horologium Florae’, and it was never actually planted by him but has been tested before. It doesn’t always work due to latitude and weather, but the flower’s circadian rhythms, when in a favorable location, do form a rudimentary clock.
