User's notes
The same group of plants photographed over time. The first three photos were taken on 12 August when numerous fungus gnats were flying around the flowers. These can be seen in Images 2 and 3 (and also in sighting 4389036). Image 4 was taken on 28 August and shows an early stage of capsule development in a fertilised flower, which is the same one seen next to the gnat in the previous image. The final photo, taken on 24 October and also seen in sighting 4402218, shows the same group of plants with mature capsules. It shows how the stem elongates to help seed dispersal.
