Lovely.  Was the tulip opening and closing in response to your growlight being turned on and off?

[neilbromhall]

@APurseyful You are quite right. It is the growlight which I use to simulate the sunlight that makes the flower open. When I switch off the growlight (=the sun) the flower closes. You're getting good at knowing my techniques.

Interesting - a nastic movement - the tulip is responding to the external stimulus of the light and heat intensity, which it would do in nature.
