The dispersing seed heads of Japanese anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’
Crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside
Extraordinary how the seeds expand as they pull away from a tight ball
Ready to float away on the evening breeze

I’ve never noticed this before. It’s beautiful!
I used to cut them back in autumn until I saw seed heads like these in a garden in town a couple of years back.
Extraordinary… They’re marvelous!
I can hardly believe that they go from tight ~5mm balls to ~3cm open spreading forms
Such wonderful shapes – like little pieces of art! 🙂
That is a great idea!
