VIBRANT TIME-LAPSE VIDEOS CAPTURE BLOSSOMING FLOWERS
VIBRANT bursts of colour fill the screen as beautiful flowers blossom in these time-lapse videos. Ten hours of footage is sped up into 20 captivating seconds, featuring petals opening and blooming. The fascinating videos were created by retired software company owner Greg Krehel as a way to show the blossoming of the Echinopsis cactus in all its glory. The 58-year-old, of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, says: ‘One of my sons works in the videography field and he made a series of time-lapse videos, seeing them gave me the idea to try this technique with cactus flowers.
