New video shows life cycle of flower

March 08, 2011

A web video that is rapidly gaining popularity documents the process of blooming spring flowers in different photographs. This is an especially timely photo, as the final snow melts across many parts of the country and people get ready for the new season.

It was shot over the course of a month by photographer Paul Kuehnel, whose only tools were a Motorola Droid X smartphone and Twitter, according to The York Daily Record. Over the course of several weeks, he posted the new pictures to the Twitter account, which has hundreds of followers.

Music was added to the video using the free Android app Ethereal Dialpad synthesizer and some pictures of the fresh flowers were shot with the app Retro Camera, according to GreenMesh.com.

This isn't the only thing that smartphones can do for flower enthusiasts. A new software program developed by students at National Taiwan University (NTU), called Flora, can be used to photograph different flowers and instantly retrieve information about the buds from an archive of over 60 species, according to Taiwan Today.

"The app searches for database matches and generates detailed biological information," NTU assistant professor Chen Yen-yang told the news source.
