Cross-section time lapse of a kidney bean growing into a plant

posted by Jason Kottke Jul 30, 2018

It's fun to watch this kidney bean grow into a plant over the course of 25 days to the strains of The Blue Danube waltz by Johann Strauss. Thanks to this cross-sectional view, you can see the main root push down into the soil and the tendrils branching out to anchor the plant for its remarkable vertical growth to come.
