Despite their being living things, we tend to think of plants as inanimate objects. The sped-up footage in this video completely shatters that idea. Obviously, we can see, over time, that plants grow. It just happens extremely slowly. This, however, shows plant growth and movement in a whole new light and, in this particular case, it's quite frightening.

This is so amazing. This planet continues to create itself. Once all was in it's place, everything on it does it's job. It is not evolving into something else, it continues to create life. This is so fascinating! Thank you very much to the camera crew. Without them I would have never seen this, and millions of others too. I follow photographers on youtube and instagram, as they can sit patiently and take photos and videos that at slow motion or still shot, the most remarkable things can be seen. Just loved this!! Thanks to all who put this together.

My elementary school teacher wanted to make science fun. She has been upstaged by this. I’m literally watching grass grow but it’s giving me ideas for a movie

Well people in Manipur, India eat the seeds and the fruit of this water lily as a delicacy and actually grow them in ponds to harvest them. You might think it's strange but I'm just sharing it with you guys. And it's called "Thangjing" in the local dialect.

delicacy? or did you mean edible?

@easterkoireng2877 2 жыл бұрын

@@ninjahattori7576 actually during the fruiting season it is sold all over the markets of our state and people buy it, and sometimes the price is also very high but people still buy it. That's why I said it's a delicacy but I guess we can say edible.
