Never thought a time lapse of a water lily could be so terrifying
-
I love it how the BBC used a combination of camera angles, spooky music, and David Attenborough to turn a nature documentary into a horror film. lol
-
Despite their being living things, we tend to think of plants as inanimate objects. The sped-up footage in this video completely shatters that idea. Obviously, we can see, over time, that plants grow. It just happens extremely slowly. This, however, shows plant growth and movement in a whole new light and, in this particular case, it's quite frightening.

โEven plants commit atrocitiesโ - Me
-
Even a simple Lilly pad can be made to look like a monster from another world. Props to the camera crew for capturing such incredible angles.
-
At first, I was disappointed because they turned out to not be carnivorous like pitcher plants. Then, I saw how terrifying they still were.
-
These flowers are also saving the water from evaporation, indirectly ensuring that the other plants don't dry up. Stuff is complicated, it's not a 1 way street.
-
Three and a half minutes of a water Lilly growing was more intense, satsufying and interesting than any 100 million dollar movie
-
Next time I see the water lilies I'll remember their true violent nature and strive for dominance. These are not simply leaves but MONSTERS. Visiting botanic gardens will be such an adrenaline boost from this day on.
-
Only Sir David Attenborough can make an "innocent" plant look so terrifying.
-
That's actually horrible. I feel so bad for all of those other plants that just wanted to get light and were killed by that water lily.
-
This is the most dramatic plant I've ever seen!
-
Damn, itโs brutal being a plant out here
-
The giant water lily is literally stabbing their neighbors, depriving them of sunlight and choking the life out of them. Itโs horrifying.
-
Wow what a great video. Gave me chills. We need more videos like this, putting us in the perspective of the animal in its nature. Scary looking plant but I'm sure relatively harmless to a human when cautious.

Props to the mini camera man for going inside of the lily and getting up close footage of it
-
In india, they clear Lilly pads from ponds claiming they killing everything from fish to plants inside...Now I understand how !!
-
Amazing production, really well put together. The sound the images the voice over, everything was perfect.

The BBC produces some of the best natural history programmes on the planet. The filming is amazing. Time-lapse photography shows in a matter of seconds what must have taken many days to happen in reality
