SWIFT AND COMPLEX. “Flower opening is often rapid. In Oenothera biennis, for example, full opening takes less than 20 min and in Hedera helix it occurs in about 5 min. Flower opening is therefore interesting from a physiological point of view as, in many species, it is accompanied by a high rate of cell expansion, rather impressive movements, and complex regulation by external and internal factors.”
