Growth Macro Against Bright Window Sun

I had to apply vignetting to the image because the sunshine was obliterating the scene...;-).

 

February 18 is day 4 of my measurements of the growth-rate. The

bulb has grown two inches in two days. It has doubled its growth rate in the last two days.

 

February 18 = G :: Growth Rate Starts With The Letter G

G is for Growth Rate. That's good enough for me!

 

I planted a bulb, possibly Japanese iris, crocus, or hyacinth in a flowerpot of rooted coleus for spring replanting. A bunch of flowerpots with different rooted cuttings are on my kitchen windowsill.

 

I figured out how to measure this unknown bulb’s growth rate using a popsicle stick to mark the sprout’s height.

 

The growth rate I measured using a finely divided yellow metal tape is 7/16 inches or 1.11 centimeters per 24 hours.
