2 x clumps of 7 individual plants, I wonder if each clump originates from a single tuber? There were just three flowers open. Within an hour, thin wispy cloud cover appeared and this was enough to close all the flowers. It would appear that direct sunlight rather than temperature caused the closure. It was also windy.
