fast growing flower for filming
 

hey, im interested in growing some indoor flowers and filming it at a
slow rate so that it will appear to be growing fast when i use the
video. do you know of any flowers that will grow in 1 or 2 weeks? if
not, what are some flowers that bloom during the day and close at
night? i would be willing to film that as well. thanks in advance.

One thing you could try is a Moonflower. Though they bloom in the evenin. I
believe that they are a member of the morning glory family, so you may want
to try something in that variety.

Dandelions open in the am and close at night...:) It is usually an outdoor
plant but maybe it would grow indoors...?

Gazania is one that opens in the morning and closes at night.

Purchase a Christmas cactus at your local box store. Most of them have buds
that is not open yet. The flowers will be open in a few days.

Maybe consider trying an amaryllis (?). They take a while to get
going, but once the stalk starts upwards, it grows quite rapidly until
it blooms (quite dramatically, I might add). This is a good time of
year to get amaryllis, since they are a popular holiday flower and are
readily available in a lot of places.
Sounds like an interesting project. Good luck!
