Gardener's Dictionary: sleep movements

The folding together of leaves, leaflets, or petals at night or on cloudy days. For example, crocuses, gazanias, moss rose, and many other flowers close at night and reopen the following day. Mimosa trees, clover, garden beans, and many other plants have leaves that fold up or down at night.
