Sunny day scamp. I liked how the leaves (or seedheads?) look a bit like stars.

🌾 The flowers may have faded, but their work isn't finished.

Winter seedheads feed birds, old stems provide shelter for insects, and faded perennials bring a quiet beauty to the garden.

This November, leave a little of summer standing. 🍂

More beautiful reproduction from majestic prairie #NativePlants Asclepias syriaca sparkling on a sunny day & proving it’s certainly exceeds being called common #MilkweedForMonarchs.

Beautiful fall grasses in the background while golden dried seedheads torn open and spilling out dark brown seeds each attached to a silvery metallic white sail of fluff to carry it to its new home.

Also... is posting fluffy seedheads instead of 🌸 considered cheating on #FlowersOnFriday? Asking for a friend. 🤔

🍂 A winter garden needn't be a tidy one.

Fallen leaves shelter insects, seedheads feed birds and old stems provide refuge from the cold.

Sometimes the kindest thing we can do is leave nature alone. 🌿

Painted a fox to match my hare. Cards and prints ready soon.
A curled-up, sleeping red fox with intricate white fur markings rests among stylised woodland flowers and delicate foliage in shades of blue, purple, pink and green. Above, a large, textured full moon surrounded by decorative dotted rings glows against a deep cobalt-blue night sky scattered with tiny stars. A white hare with long, upright ears sits among an intricate arrangement of fantastical woodland flowers, seedheads and curling ferns in soft blues, turquoise, lavender and purple. Above, a large, luminous full moon encircled by delicate dotted rings hangs in a deep cobalt-blue sky scattered with stars.

Halloween, Samhain offerings. Seedheads holding the spiderwebs, the leaves are turning and the autumn light is brief but gorgeous. Love this time of year 🤎

“Faded flowers,
Sweet faded flowers—
Fair frail records
Of Eden’s bowers.”

Key point 🌱 Biodiversity and design (5.5)

Seedheads feed wildlife; self-seeders create naturalistic, changing plantings; meadows from seed; invasive seeders harm habitats.

Simple ways to celebrate...

♡ Gather leaves, seedheads and branches to decorate with.

♡ Light a candle or gather around a fire as the evenings draw in.

♡ Bake something seasonal to share – recipe ideas in comments.

Wishing you cosy evenings and some autumn magic as the nights draw in.✨

Lyon’s Grass (Themeda villosa), introduced. Waikahekaheiki, Puna, Hawai’i.
Arching grass stems bear loose, branching clusters of slender, dark brown, drooping seedheads. Long, narrow green leaves extend diagonally across the photograph, silhouetted against a blue sky mottled with white clouds.

It was a beautiful completely unusual 75F day today so Mr. CMG took off work & we went exploring Kettle Grove Forest Preserve looking for rare #birds for his #BirdSky passion and #NativePlants & fall color for me.

#gardening #ecosystem #wildlife #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #FantasticFoliage 🌱
As close to a mountain range view as we get here in the flat Midwest as a fiery orange foliaged tree pokes up between a group of pointy decidious and evergreens. Beautiful fall color from prairie grasses leading out to a water view with artistic snags reaching out above the water surface. Light dancing on taller red prairie grasses with a swishy sea of low green carex—magically matrix action! A trio of persistent white and pink Gaura flowers still showing off clumps of white and brown seedheads.

Our winters are mild, so our squirrels don’t hibernate. On the rare days when snow actually covers the ground, their menu is down to leftover garden seeds and snacks from our patio feeder! ❄️🐿️

#SquirrelAwarenessMonth #GardenWildlife #WinterWildlife #SquirrelsOfBluesky
A dark-furred Eurasian red squirrel standing upright on its hind legs in fresh white snow. The squirrel has charcoal-black fur, a crisp white underside, and a remarkably full, bushy tail curved upward behind it. It reaches forward with both small front paws to investigate and forage from a cluster of dried, snow-dusted plant stems and seedheads on the left. The pure white snow fills the entire background, creating a high-contrast winter scene.

Goldfinch On The Seedheads

We spotted this lovely bird returning form RSPB Snettisham. It was happily feeding on the seeds in the drizzle.

A brown bird with yellow highlights in the feathers. The head has a red front, a big vertical white and black stripe. It's among seed heads and it's raining a little.

Red Campion (Silene dioica) at Hazelwood, Sligo, still looking 'Champion' (🙄) after a stormy night. Oddly, not that common in much of RoI. I love the #seedheads, like tiny goblets, and those shamelessly pink flowers #wildflowerhour #pinkfamily #PlantAtlas2020 @bsbibotany.bsky.social #woodland #Yeats
