In honor of the new hibiscus starts that I was given at Seattle Tilth, I wonder if the following video can be made into an icon:

Sure. How long do you want the icon animation to be? How many frames? It cant be a full 45 seconds, the icon size would be huge espeically in full color.

[soopafreek]

I would say no longer than 10 seconds or so. As far as # of frames, I'm not sure as I don't have any experience to draw from. Play it by eye?

.gif animations are a delicate balance between # of colors, # of frames and quality. I've made a few variations for you. ;)

Size: 32k
# colors: 10

[soopafreek]

I know!!! That glistening pistil beckons someone to pollinate, doesn't it?

[morbidart]

I thought you didn't like moneyshots! lol

On the contrary. There's nothing that arouses me more than a bleached blond getting shot in the eye with baby batter. That's hawt.
