{"title":"Amicia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe genus name Amicia commemorates the Italian scientist Giovanni Amici who distinguished himself by making early microscopic observations of the movement of fluids within plants. However, Amicia also means \"Dearly loved\" or \"Beloved\" or \"Friend\" in Latin. We think that you will \"amicia\" this plant for its unusual look. Although Amicia has pretty golden flowers, its most unusual feature is its large, orbicular, yellow-purple stipules (leaf-like organs that are usually very small and inconspicuous). A less noticeable but also very curious feature of Amicia is that the leaves move. During the day, the leaves are held outward so that their tops are facing up to the sky, but at night (or when stressed), they relax and fold downwards so that the leaf face is perpendicular to the sky (this process is called nyctinasty).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/collections\/Amicia-zygomeris-Johns-Big-Splash.i-7421.s-63170.r-1_c48f0512-3771-4da7-ae12-a5e5905103b5.webp?v=1653510085","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/amicia.oembed","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
