Water lilies open during the day and close at night. This is a habit of the plant. They will slowly wake up at eight or nine o'clock in the morning and gradually raise their heads. At noon, they will bloom with bright flowers. In the evening, as night falls, the water lilies will also close their petals. The main reason for this is that it is sensitive to sunlight.
