A genus of flowering plants, commonly known as African daisies, known for their bright colorful flowers that close in cool weather.
From Greek 'di-' (two) plus 'morph' (form) plus 'theca' (case or container)—referring to the two-chambered seed pods. It's a botanical genus name combining morphological description with taxonomy.
Dimorphotheca flowers have an almost magical property—they close up like tiny sleeping faces in the afternoon or when it rains, then pop open again in morning sunlight in a daily rhythm that gardeners used to call 'weather prediction flowers.'
