CSS transition (height property) - can't get it to roll from bottom - css

Question

I use height property to animate my DIV, it appears on hover of another element - it "rolls" from top. Is there a way to rotate the animation, so I would get it to appear from bottom to top?
HTML:
SHOW IT
<div id="appear">
<img src="http://data.atria.sk/matmenu/celevyk.jpg" />
</div>
CSS:
#appear {
width: 308px;
height: 0px;
overflow:hidden;
-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear;
-moz-transition: all 0.2s linear;
-o-transition: all 0.2s linear;
transition: all 0.2s linear;
}
.show:hover + #appear, #appear:hover {
height: 331px;
}

One way to do this without using absolute positioning or altering your markup is to transition a margin-top at the same time as the height. So your CSS might look like:
html, body { background-color: #dedede; }
#appear {
width: 308px;
height: 0px;
overflow:hidden;
-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear;
-moz-transition: all 0.2s linear;
-o-transition: all 0.2s linear;
transition: all 0.2s linear;
margin-top:331px;
}
.show:hover + #appear, #appear:hover {
margin-top:0;
height:331px;
}
SHOW IT
<div id="appear">
<img src="http://data.atria.sk/matmenu/celevyk.jpg" />
</div>
Here's also a JSFiddle to demonstrate. (If I've misunderstood your intentions, please tell me.)

I set position:absolute to the #appear div. and bottom:0; so it will take height from bottom.
And to keep it intact from top. I placed it within a container and give position relative to the container.
HTML
SHOW IT
<div class="container">
<div id="appear">
<img src="http://data.atria.sk/matmenu/celevyk.jpg" />
</div>
</div>
CSS
.container {
width: 308px;
height:331px;
position:relative;
}
#appear {
width: 308px;
height: 0px;
overflow:hidden;
-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear;
-moz-transition: all 0.2s linear;
-o-transition: all 0.2s linear;
transition: all 0.2s linear;
position:absolute;
left:0;
bottom:0;
}
.show:hover + .container #appear, .container #appear:hover {
height: 331px;
}

By default, height transition works from top to bottom. But you can make it work from bottom to top with a very simple trick. All you need is to rotate the div to 180 degrees. This will rotate the transition direction as well. Try this css on your div.
transform: rotate(180deg);
