Time lapse Project

My grandmother had this christmas cactus that she was about to throw out because it kept showing buds and then they would shrivel up and fall off and it just wasn't flowering for her and she was getting frustrated with it. So instead of her throwing it away I asked her if I could have it. I now own a very lovely christmas cactus. The best part of all this for me is that a few weeks ago I looked at my cactus and low and behold there it was a little flower bud all nice and green and health. lets just say I was very pleased with my self. Knowing what had happened with my grandmother and the flower buds I waited a while to see if it would grow or fall off. luckily for me it is still growing. Now this is where we get to the time lapse I have set up my camera on a tripod in front of my cactus flower and have my alarm set. At 9 every morning I get up and take one picture of my flowers progress. It is actually amazing how much it has grown in the last 5-6 days. I'm going to keep this up until it is a fully grown blossomed flower. We shall see how it turns out in the end.
