So when the flower was opening last night, around 10:40pm, it took approximately 28 minutes and this video was compressed into only 23 seconds long Time-lapse. Not too bad.&nbsp; I sat on my chair waiting and watching for the flower to open. &nbsp;Then flower bud was getting bigger and bigger until the narrow pointed white petals started to open, the outside of the petals opening first. &nbsp;Based on one friend, a plant ecologist, moisture content gets into flower bud and pushes petals open so now we understand the process. I was surprised on how quickly and suddenly each petal opened once it started.&nbsp; Amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is another video of night flower blooming at night, this time opening started around 11:30pm, 8\/26\/2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5472a.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching Epiphyllum Hookeri, night flower bloom \/ open was amazing.&nbsp;&nbsp; Taking time-lapse video&nbsp;is more fabulous than I can describe and also a challenge. &nbsp;We set the equipment up in the daylight as I did not want to miss the actual &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/2020\/08\/23\/watching-epiphyllum-hookeri-night-flower-to-bloom-2\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1054"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1054"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1065,"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1054\/revisions\/1065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
