Time lapse Dandelion flower to seed head

Time lapse dandelion flower to seed head /dandelion clock filmed continuously over a period of one month.
Filmed for my website http://www.rightplants4me.co.uk
Intervals between 5-45 minutes.
Aphids continue to feed on the dandelion whilst the seeds mature.
Dandelion are considered a weed, though I think they are very beautiful.

This sequence was filmed for the interactive on-line plant identifier and pruning guide encyclopaedia http://www.rightplants4me.co.uk
The website is designed to help find and identify the right plants for every aspect of a garden and seasonal need and help you create a garden design with colour and interest. I use photographs as well as time lapse sequences to make it more informative. I hope you find it interesting.

This is crazy. Kudos on an excellent job! I have a question. One time I pulled some dandelions but did rake them up. They went to seed on the lawn. Other times they haven't. Do you have an explantation for this? Perhaps there was too much soil pulled up with the dandelion, so it was still growing?

[Neil Bromhall]

Birds will eat seeds so maybe that explains why some germinated whilst others didn't. Also if you raked the seed heads off before the seeds had matured whey wouldn't germinate either.

You can't copyright nature, that's very true. I can however hold the Copyright of the images which I took on my cameras. Best wishes
