Meaning of "dayflower" in English

The term "dayflower" refers to any of several plants of the genus Commelina, notable for their short-lived blue or white flowers. These flowers typically bloom in the morning and wither by the afternoon, hence the name "dayflower." The plant is often found in warm climates, and some species are used medicinally or as ornamental plants due to their vibrant petals. Dayflowers are characterized by their smooth, glabrous leaves and a tendency to spread quickly across garden beds or wild landscapes, often seen as invasive in some regions.

Meaning of "dayflower" in French

Known as "fleur du jour" in some contexts, these plants are appreciated for their fleeting beauty and resilience. They thrive in warm environments and can be found in gardens or the wild, occasionally regarded as weeds due to their prolific growth.
