seedling goes *boing*!

I came home today after my day-late birthday party at Applebees and one of my morning glory seedlings was drooping all the way down. It's only about 5" tall. I think I had it too close to the halogen light I'm using to keep the cactus seedlings warm. Anyway, It was limp so I put it up on a shelf away from the heat lamp and put a bamboo skewer into all of the peat pots for all of them to give them something to climb when they're ready. No kidding, 10 minutes later, it went fully erect again!

Cool.

It's amazing how fast plants can move sometimes. I recently got a Cyclamen persicum and was fascinated to be able to watch one the flowers open in the space of a few minutes.
