Amazing! I never knew how much they moved about when they bloomed, but with the time-lapses you can see each in their full beauty.

I love how they have dandelions in this video too. They are so delicate. But they are all incredibly gorgeous.

Just played this for my almost 3yr old grandson. He was so transfixed, he didn't realize he'd finished his bath & been dressed for play. Then begged to see it again. ❤❤❤
