Lax Flowered Orchid Time Lapse

 

My second attempt at recording the flowering of an Anacamptis laxiflora, not really very successful the early part of the video really did not work since the flower stalk grew at such a rate that I had to move the camera to keep it in the frame. The choice of the grey sheet as a background is not ideal but the biggest problem is the variation in light levels - clearly the only way to do this is in a studio where you can control the light levels. I'll wait until I have more orchids to spare, more time to play with and a room I can sacrifice. I guess that'll be when I retire at the age of 85...
