What flower can i plant in small quantities which will bloom within 3 or 4 weeks... from seeds if possible...?

I need to plant some flower and photograph it as it grows.. i only have 3 or 4 weeks to complete this project.. and i want to get the full life of it from planting to bloom... can anyone reccomend a flower i can do this with..





i would prefer it to be seeds.. but i can do cuttings... ;)





cheers. XOXOWhat flower can i plant in small quantities which will bloom within 3 or 4 weeks... from seeds if possible...?
Nothing you plant from seed will grow and flower within 3-4 weeks. Rooted cuttings can take even longer than 4 weeks just to root, much less start growing greenery and preparing to flower.





Plants grown from seed often take a minimum of 10-12 weeks to produce a flower. In an annual plant's life cycle, flowering is towards the end of the plant's life. This is part of the reproductive end of a plant - they flower, get pollinated, set seeds, and die - all in one short growing season. Perennials grown from seed often take much longer to establish and flower - sometimes 2-3 years.





If you have a photography project due, you might consider looking outside at your landscaping for spring bulbs this time of year. I'm in zone 5 for growing, and our snowdrops, hyacinths and crocus are just starting to poke their heads out of the remaining snow.





If you have any wild violets growing around your yard, these too are also preparing to grow and are some of the earliest flowers to appear. You might be able to find other wild perennials that will perform for you as well.





Perhaps you can find a bulb that is popping up and use one of these plants for your project instead. Snowdrops, crocus and early spring bulbs should be flowering in this zone within the next month or so, so this could probably fulfill your project requirements.





Hope this helps and good luck!What flower can i plant in small quantities which will bloom within 3 or 4 weeks... from seeds if possible...?
No matter what you choose you will need cuttings. Nothing you start from seed will bloom in just 3 or 4 weeks.
No such plant. I suggest you purchase similar plants ar different stages of growth.
