you might have to wait a few days for that one

it will flower during the day.....not at night.

^and it'll open for a few days in a row (provided it doesn't get polinated on day one).

be patient. sometimes they aren't old enough and it takes a few years for them to be at flowering age.

If you're talking about mine, then that one Hob posted is one of them. I didn't do well on the E. hookeri because it opened so fast. The time between the second and third frame is only a matter of seconds. It opened so fast, I should have had a real-time video of it instead of time-lapse.

Daiv,
that was after a few seconds?

I have never watched a flower open, but that seems quick. I figured they were sorta slow in opening because sometimes they aren't open all the way and it takes awhile for them to open up fully. Course I suppose it could depend on the species as well!
