#tumescence

My first attempt at a time lapse video!  I didn’t water my pregnant onion plant (Ornithogalum longibracteatum) for about a month so that it could be my subject matter.  It’s a bit shaky, but you get the idea!  This is 14 hours compressed to 5 seconds.

(A note: Normally this plant has long leaves, but I discovered small pests eating them so I chopped them off.  Since I have so many other plants, I don’t have much tolerance for pests and reducing their food source seemed like a good first step toward getting rid of them. They will grow back and I can keep an eye out for the return of the pests.)
