Plants-In-Motion 

Plants are in a perpetual state of change -- buds develop, leaves sprout, branches grow, and flowers bloom. This evolution occurs so slowly it is undetectable to the human eye in real time, but thanks to time-lapse photography, we can now observe the undeniable growth of plants. The results are incredible. The QuickTime movies found here capture a series of images, which are then shown in rapid succession. Three-and-a-half hours in the life of a passion flower document it slowly rising to attention, and then powerfully bursting forth in an explosion of purple and white petals. Watch as the leaves of the Mimosa plant quickly close when lightly touched with a flame, and then see sunflower seedlings dancing and swaying to an imaginary rhythm. Proving once again that nature's beauty is truly boundless, this unique view of garden life grabs you from the start and doesn't let go.

what blogs are good for, aside from ego expression... Sort of like putting your face, life story and personal opinions on a milk carton so other people can see them.
