Daffodil flowering time lapse

Over nine days during March this year I photographed a daffodil as it developed and eventually flowered. I was interested to see how the plant changed before flowering. I had noticed on other daffodils that although the petals looked ready to open it was some time before the flowerhead would reveal itself.



The time lapse movie reveals that the flowerhead moves from pointing skywards, through approximately 100 degrees to point towards the ground, before flowering.



The time lapse has been done very roughly as the camera was not set up on a tripod but I would simply hold the camera in the same place as best I could. As a result the background moves around but the overall effect is still good.
