What causes new oak leaves to fold like this when they get sun?

I've noticed the new growth does this when exposed to the sun. The leaves slowly fold as they get sun like in the images. Does anyone know what causes this?

I'm not asking about plant care, just curious about what actually causes this.

Could anyone id these ones?

Yesterday I was collecting a few seeds from some native Narcissus and found these with seed pods open or about to open.

The first three seem to be the same species and the other two different species.

If it helps these were found in the wild in NW Portugal.

Native Sedum four months ago and today beginning to flower (plus jumping spider)

I've been trying to grow the native species we have here in Portugal and these are two of them. The smaller reddish one, which is now blueish, seems to grow slower and has been almost completely covered by the other sedums. I will probably put it in another pot.
