Fall Texture



I love the fall textures as plants dry and go to seed. These are currently to be found in the wonderful, mostly veggie garden of my friend and colleague, Lynn Bement, the Compost Queen. Above is an unknown (to me) Clematis and below are seed heads of Bee Balm against a fluffy background of Asparagus. The fungus on the Monarda leaves gives you a clue as to their ID.

I love the contrast of hard and soft in the clematis seed head; very beautiful. My jackmanii does nothing like that.

Well, jackmanii is a workhorse...no doubt this is one with larger blooms. It also gets fabulous organic compost...probably like yours. I must garden in shade, so can only grow the Autumn Clematis, whose name they keep changing.
