The indoor hydroponic garden California Poppies continue to bloom and a Calendula flower opened. I’ve included time-lapse video of the Calendula flower and several Icelandic Poppy flower buds that are about the open. I am amazed by how much the plants move during the day. Also, keep a lookout for the Stink Bug.
