Crocus timelapse

by

In the spring, crocus’ are one of the first flowers that I have the pleasure of seeing emerge. Sometimes they come up as early as Mid-March, often between melting patches of snow.

I have crocus’ planted in my lawn. Not in the high traffic areas, but in various places on my front and back lawn for a natural kind of look. It’s very nice when I can look outside and see the vibrant yellow and purple crocus flowers peeking out amid the grass as it too begins to turn the pretty green of spring.

Here’s a video of a crocus’ blooming. It’s a time lapse video of about 30 seconds. Enjoy!

Elephant Ear plant reacting to light

by

It’s interesting to see how plants react to light isn’t it?

I’m sure you’ve looked at your house plants or various plants in your garden and saw that they were facing the sun, or that the flowers were open fully in full sun. However, at night or when not in full sun you might have also noticed flowers closing or plants leaves turning to try to capture whatever small bit of sunlight they could reach.

Here’s a time lapse video of an Elephant Ear houseplant reacting to the sun. It’s facing into the plant owners home in the beginning but watch what happens as the window that the plant is near becomes brighter and brighter as the sun comes through it.
