Indoor hydroponic flowers of the day. I didn’t get up early enough for the pink-fringed white poppy (Papaver Rhoes) which much have started opening before the hydroponic AeroGarden Farm LED lights went on. A red Red Turkish Tulip Poppy (Papaver glaucum) opened later, which I did catch for a time-lapse video. One thing to note, the poppy flowers are blooming at nearly the height of the AeroGarden XL Farm (36″). This means I need to use a very tall tripod to capture the images using the Laowa 24 mm macro probe lens.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) — common name Pot Marigold. An orange Iceland Poppy started, but didn’t completely open. I opened some windows today, and the indoor temperature dropped a few degrees that may have contributed to the slower opening.
