Orchid Time-lapse HD

My first major time-lapse project was this orchid blooming. The orchid last bloomed about six years ago. It went dormant until late last year when it started sending up a stock. I decided to document this event in a time-lapse once the buds arrive in February. There are eight flowers total on the plant, now. However, I only did the time-lapse for the first seven. Enjoy! 02-22-2015 through 04-24-2015.
