The leaves are ternately divided into round, lobed segments. The flowers are solitary on long stems, silky-textured, with four petals; flower color ranges from yellow to orange, with flowering from February to September. The petals close at night or in cold, windy weather and open again the following morning, although they may remain closed in cloudy weather. The fruit is a slender, capsule which splits in two to release the numerous small black or dark brown seeds. |
