Hello, I have a small problem that I hope someone can help me with. I am
a photographer and I what to make a stop frame animation of a flower, so
every day I will take a image of the flower and then after I will play
them all as a video so it will look like it is growing over a couple of
minuets.
My problem is I have no experience of gardening and I don’t know what
flower to use and I have a few requirements for this flower which are:
it need to take about 1 year to grow.
It needs to be able to be grown inside from September.
I only want to grow the flower in 1 pot.
It must be a flowering plant.
It needs to be easy to grow, like I said I have no gardening
experience.
Finally I don’t really want to spend any more then about £30 for all
of then equipment and the flower.
As you can see I don’t want much but if some one could help me or at
least point me in the right direction I would be vary grateful.

Start by searching for John Ott.

Outdoors, the slightest breeze will change the position of a flower. I
suggest you use a greenhouse where temperatures are controlled without
the use of blowers.

Why must it be over a year? This constraint may be a problem. Do you
intend to start from seed or a seedling? How big do you want it to grow?

Where are you? Why September? We need to know your climate and which
season it is in September.
Also do you have a window that faces away from the pole that gets strong
light most of the day or better some sun? If you don't have any sun your
choice in flowering plants will be much reduced, if you don't have strong
light almost impossible.

What equipment do you mean? You shouldn't need any unless you are talking
about artificial lighting.

No flower takes a year... if a blossom takes ten days to open and
mature that's a lot. All of my fruit tree blossoms went from bud to
finish in seven days, a short window for pollination... tulips and
daffs about the same.
