Right so, plants don’t have a concept of time, but they’re very responsive to changes in their environment. Each species of flower has needs/ conditions that it needs to be able to flower, as the seasons shift, the temperature and sunlight make different levels of chemical reactions inside the plant leaves, and these different chemicals trigger different growth responses, for example, a plant that flowers in winter would respond to the suddenly cold temperatures or a change in the amount of sunlight. The plant knows what conditions it thrives in best and so tells itself to flower, because plants flower only to attract pollinators or at least to reproduce, such as releasing seeds by wind, or grow fruit so that the fruit containing the seeds manage to find somewhere to root.
