Time-lapse of a pea plant growing from seed, showing both the shoot and root system. Late in the video, the plant loses its water supply and wilts/desiccates, but bounces back once water is re-added. Timelapse is at 20 min per frame, 15fps. That means that 1 second of video is 5 hours in real time.
