Flowering peyote (Lophophora jourdaniana), time-lapse

My first attempt at a time-lapse movie showing a flowering peyote (Lophophora williamsii var. jourdaniana).

The frames of the unfolding Lophophora flower were shot at a rate of one frame every 15 seconds, they are played back at an rate of 10 frames per second, i.e. the playback is sped up by a factor of 150 (the movie covers a time span of approximately 90 minutes).

Unfortunately I'm not an early bird so I missed the first part where the peyote / Lophophora flower started to unfold.

It is sad how something so beautiful is so unlawful to possess.

Ooo that is just unfortunate.

@Sarosh00 In America, unless you are part of the Native American church, you can't own a Peyote cactus.
