00:00Most people think peanuts grow exactly like potatoes.
00:02This guy planted a raw seed against the glass to capture the entire process.
00:06From day one, a taproot forms and drives deep into the soil,
00:09while fresh leaves begin the race for the light.
00:11Soon, the plant bursts into yellow flowers.
00:13Instead of growing nuts on the branches, the blooms shrivel and collapse.
00:17But something unusual happens next.
00:18The fading flowers shoot out stems called pegs that dive straight back down.
00:22They bury themselves alive to form a pod underground.
00:24And when you finally expose one of those buried pegs,
00:27you find a peanut forming right at its tip.
