I'm so happy that people are grateful for people who do these timelapses. The comments seem so positive!

It’s somewhat wholesome to watch flowers grow from tiny little seeds to beautiful blooming specks of colour.

Was a short lawn well trim guy, but I decided to dedicate half of my front yard to wild flowers this year.

Wow at first I thought the planting was going to be a bust, but then it turned into a non-stop flower parade! MESMERIZING

The flowers look butterflies when they open and close. So beautiful!!

I love especially the bit when red poppies sing out like a soprano hitting the high notes.

I feel the vibration of life from this wild flower bed. Really touched my heart. Thank you!

This is really helpful. I’m designing a new pond/meadow/bog area in my garden and I didn’t realise how tall these plants are! Going to switch my bog garden and meadow round, as there’s a bench that needs a view into the pond. Cheers!

What a wonderful video!
Plants are very thankful creatures!
When a human works with them, they give a joy of nice bloom.

Outstanding, thank you for taking the time to show what is possible. Very hopeful to see what I planted to be half as productive.

[ChopsyMiche]
