I want to take weekly pictures of the flower showing the growth and development of the flower! I live in central Maine if that makes a difference.
anything really hunnie try a hyacinth , daffodil , crocus we’ve got 4 children and the 3 youngest have planted all of them in little buckets and tubs and the best thing is the daffs and hyacinth smell so nice, and where u live they should grow pretty quick , water when they need it not so much wen there 1st planted another good tip is if u cover the pot with cling film it speeds up the first bit as the cling film has the same affect as if it were in a green house , good luck , hope ive helped a little love Tracey

Paperwhites and Amyrllis grow very well indoors and do so quickly. They are bulbs and can be grown in a clear container with only rocks/pebbles and water so you would be able to show root development too. You can purchase them in kits at Wal Mart and most Drug stores for around $5.00.

buy a begonia plant . the leaves are coloured red and the flowers are pinkish red . they grow well indoor and flower too.

I agree with Chris – any of those would be good.
However, I have a second Amaryllis, which I received at Christmas. (The flower spike grows before the leaves and the flower is SPECTACULAR!) The flower spike is already 15 inches tall, in a very cold room.
Amaryllis would be excellent for a photography project as the plant grows fast in a warm environment (even in my unheated room!) and you can capture the unfolding of the huge flowers wonderfully. It is easy to care for and doesn’t require too much watering.
I keep mine going from year to year by cutting off the flower stalk, when it is dying off and feeding the plant when it is in leaf. I cut off the leaves at the end of the summer and stop watering until I repot it and start it off again in December.

Well I started with an indoor greenhouse($5-$7 @ Walmart/HomeDepot) and Zinnia seeds ($1.07-Thumbelina Mix – flowers at 3 inches it says on the package)
The seedlings sprouted in 2-3 days and with sunlight and just keeping the soil moist are doing well 2 weeks in. That specific variety only grows several inches high. hope it helps.
I have tulip bulbs planted outside since January and they are still concentrating on their roots, so I imagine it would take a good long while to bloom a flower with bulbs.

Impatiens and begonia semperflorens are pretty good candidates for your project. Is it from seed? That might add some time to the thing, but impatiens under lights from seed are probably you best bet

are you doing seeds or bulbs the quickest and the easiest seeds are going to be allysum ususally starts growing between 10-15 days and then the pansy’s usually 10-14 days they are both quick bloomers with the right amount of sun and since the seeds are in the store now they should not be hard to find try Walmart
