Wintertime Nature in New Jersey.

The first indoor hydroponic Pink Poppy flower bloomed this morning. This was only 60 days since I planted the seeds (Red Poppy from American Meadows). The last time I tried this it took 125 days for the Red Poppy flowers to bloom. I was able to capture the opening (and a selfie) for a time-lapse video using a Laowa 24 mm f/14 macro probe lens. At a couple of points you can see a spider wandering around on the flower.

Time-lapse video of yardwork on Red Rover. I needed to prepare for a storm predicted for tomorrow. Rain, snow, heavy wind, and temperatures dropping well below zero. The bulbs in Soft Pots that started to sprout needed to be brought back into the garage. Also, the Garden Shed that I had been storing the tractor implements blew over during the last windstorm. I was able to set it back up, but two of the ground anchors failed. For this upcoming storm, I decided to anchor the shed from within using a pallet of fertilizer.
