You wouldn't want to grow this one RF! It is the wild form aka Datura Stramonium or Jimson Weed ... not growing in my garden I might add  x Tig |

Once the flowers are over the seedheads on the clems are almost of nice as the flowers  and then we get more 'balls of fluff' ;D  Pulsatillas are quite attractive too, they vary dependent on the flower colour it seems ... This was a lilac coloured flower  and this was a white one  Tig |

I love the seed heads of Clems Tig, they are quite tactile. Spotted this white verbena from one of my hanging baskets poking through the seed heads of my Lagoon Clematis.  |

I do love the Kousa seed heads...   and the Euonymus...  and erm...the Sinocalycanthus chinensis  RF |

How very colourful Rf, the Euonymus really stands out does'nt it. Do you have birds visiting your garden at this time of year?

Post by Rosefriend on Sept 7, 2011 12:16:12 GMT
The Blackbirds, Tits and Magpies love the Kousa and the Euonymus. The only birds that I have seen eat the Sinocalycanthus are the Jackdaws and Pigeons...probably only birds that are big enough - the seeds are enormous.

Not exactly seed heads but close.... I find the old flower stalks of cyclamen hederifolium amazing when they curl up like spirals to bring the seed head down to the soil...  You can just see one on the left hand side of the pic just under half way down. Nature is amazing  |

That's a lovely display there Jasmine, the leaves are great too are'nt they. I see your little seed stalk twirls, have they spread much for you?

The leaves look quite reptilian I think LG. I can't believe how much the plants have grown just in the past 2 weeks, it's murky, damp, grey and miserable and the temps are dropping and they're flourishing! I saw some corms at the GC the other day, they were the size of saucers!

I managed to keep a couple of mine from last year going but no sign of flowers from them. I bought some new ones as I could'nt be without them over the autumn winter. |

They're like little jewels are they LG and we will need all the colour available soon. Hope your kept ones flower for you too.

Thanks Rosefriend Ladygardener , very similar to if not identical to the seedhead I pinched some seeds from a week or two ago (and still have in my bag!). Will try and sow some and see what comes up! |
