How does your garden grow? The statement is no longer just a rhetorical nursery rhyme query or bio class question. With this handy PlantCam from Wingscapes (at a price I think is pretty reasonable for a toy with so much potential for fun: $79) you can truly watch your garden grow - and answer that age-old question. Spotted in the LA Times and the original article has a youtube video I am going to attempt to post for your viewing pleasure. I love it.
It’s a four-megapixel time-lapse digital camera that captures mini-movie frames of your plants as they grow.
Created by Wingscapes, the PlantCam operates much like the company’s Audubon BirdCam, a motion-sensor camera that photographs wildlife at the backyard perch, feeder or nest.
PlantCam, housed in a weatherproof case, is easy to mount on a tripod, post or even a tree trunk. Leave it alone to do its thing and pretty soon you’ll have all the pieces to stitch together a slow-motion film of a bud opening or a leaf unfurling.
