Home-grown Arabidopsis thaliana

Started to grow my own Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia-0) plants, just for fun. Or maybe a bit out of curiousity as I’m working with its genome sequence datasets… The following fotos were taken about 2 months after sowing…

I did not apply any special treatment, just used simple flower soil with about 20% perlite content and watered them every now and then. For the macro pictures of the blooms I used an adapter (retroadapter) to reversely attach a lens to my camera.
