How do you measure time on a tide locked planet?

[QUOTE="Rive, post: 6833358, member: 324024"] With classic gaseous plant hormones are out of the picture, I still have two possible solutions to achieve some kind of synchronicity between plants. One is, touch. Mimozes and some carnivorous plants are fine examples for that. Other is: visible light. As I recall some plants are using the amount of yellow light as an indication to pick 'growth mode', since their priorities are different in forests and on open terrain. So it's not exactly absurd idea to have some plants sensitive to the color of their neighbors. Ps.: one more, but I don't know any existing example for that: hollow, howling 'flowers' could be pretty good tools for the plants to sense each other: transmit and resonate in continuous wind. But then you have 'windflowers' instead of 'sunflowers' o0) [/QUOTE]
