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.

It appears a bear walked through the yard last night. In the morning, one of the birdfeeders was down on the ground.

Indoor Hydroponic Flowers. California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) continue to produce flowers. Yellow and White Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule). Pink and white with pink lace Poppy (Papaver rhoeas). Turkish Tulip Poppy (Papaver glaucum). Time-lapse video of an Iceland Poppy and a Turkish Tulip Poppy opening. I had to start the camera half an hour before the Hydroponic LED lights went on.

Indoor Hydroponic Flowers. The California Poppies continue to produce flowers. A new yellow Icelandic Poppy joined the white Icelandic poppy. Also a white Poppy with pink lace bloomed (probably a Red Poppy). Unfortunately, both started opening before the LED Hydroponic Farm lights went on at 05:30 AM. So the time-lapse video today is the later part of the flower opening. The flower bud for a Turkish Tulip Poppy is ready to open. So I will have a camera ready to capture it tomorrow morning (before the Hydroponic LED lights go on).
