Gone to Seed

Gone to Seed
Straw Flowers seem to last forever, but when they finally give up and go to seed, this is what they look like. I'm hoping for lots more of these flowers next year!

Thanks James...........glad you like this one. The petals of these flowers feel more like stiff paper and even when picked they stay that way for weeks. Apparently the Japanese use them in their artworks.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments..!!
