Petrea volubilis - Fabulous Flowers Float and Spin in the Breeze

  • Petrea volubilis is a purple flowering vine from Tropical America. It has rough leaves like sandpaper hence its common name Sandpaper Vine. It is also called Purple Wreath Vine, Queen's Wreath Vine or Nilmani.
    My Petrea volubilis plant is regularly pruned to the shape of a shrub like a large bonsai.
    Petrea volubilis flowers are very attractive to honeyeaters and nectar feeding insects such as bees and butterflies. Another common name for this plant is Butterfly Vine.
    Petrea volubilis flowers have five sepals which form the calyx surrounding the corolla. The calyx persists on the plant after the corolla has fallen and the five sepals of the calyx contain the seed and when the calyx finally falls the seed is dispersed long distances as the calyx spins like a helicopter in the breeze.

    This is marvelous!!!! Butterflies are so difficult to film and I suppose these flowers are not easy to track as well, but You did it fantastically! Did You film with the iPhone like You wrote me for other slow motion clips of Insects?

    • @MoreliaAustralia
      @MoreliaAustralia  Год назад +1

      Yes, I did use the iPhone for the slo-mo clips. My Canon is good for telephoto and macro but it doesn't have a slo-mo option like the phone. I think it's good to use slo-mo on butterflies only when they are flying very close.
      You take good slo-mo videos on your video camera. My favourite is your Black Kite video 'A happy year to the Earth' ruclips.net/video/smzbgEC5fGg/видео.html This is a very special, outstanding video to me.

    • @AndreaNature
      @AndreaNature Год назад +1

      Thank You so much for telling me, it is encouraging to know! Actually I have re-watched my video but I am never satisfied of my tracking in combination with the stabilizer. I tried all the options but I am not able to find a way to smoothly follow any Bird in flight avoiding the framing going a bit forward and then back. I like better Your Butterflies and these Flowers slow motion! ^ ^

    • @MoreliaAustralia
      @MoreliaAustralia  5 месяцев назад +1

      My tip for pruning is prune all the tips of the new growth when it is not flowering. This stops the plant from climbing all over the place and putting too much energy into long vinelike growth. The plant will then have more flowers and look more like a shrub than a vine.
      Have you seen Petrea plants in your area?

    How is it spinning for so long? Your filming is amazing and that purple flower is so beautiful. Great share.

    • @MoreliaAustralia
      @MoreliaAustralia  Год назад

      The flowers have a natural ability to spin in the breeze and this is an adaption by the plant to spread the seed. I used the slomo setting to film the spinning flowers and this makes them to appear to spin for a long time.
