And then there is black eyed susan that wants to take over the garden through self seeding.  I've forgotten the name of this one, but it is a later blooming variety of false sunflower. Birds are supposed to love the seed heads but I haven't seen them go after these much. I'll see what happens as the winter moves along and food starts getting scarce. [   and I love the black eyes Susans |

I read in the Avon Bulbs catalogue that the seedhead of the nectar thingys look like Disney castles, I suppose they do a bit.  Jillyx |

I have some of those Disney castles in my garden Jilly, I shall smile everytime I look at them now ;D The sun was glinting on the seedheads of clematis Princess Diana and they looked like gold - no sign of any leprachauns though ...  x Tig |

This was meant to be a pic of the Sunflower behind, but auto focus had other ideas.  Jillyx |

I was given one of those a couple of year ago - the seeds were so viable I was giving the plants away and throwing them away, I had so many.

Ever since I posted it has been going through my my mind that I have made a mistake.
I think/thought it was a normal Datura seed head....sometimes called the Thorn apple...not sure now!!

But it is a Thorn Apple isn't it, looks like the wilder one.
