Hat tip to Carol at May Dreams Garden for hosting. More bloom day scans here. It’s easy. Give it a try. Directions here. At least we still have Felder’s three keys to designing with form, ’roundy, spiky, frilly.’
Colors are somber around here in November. Guess that’s why I rushed the season on poinsettias.
The colors may be muted, but you have to love the variety of shapes and textures, and the way your scanning technique shows them off so well.
So many textures. They keep the garden interesting during the cold months. I didn’t mind the poinsetta post. I like seeing what is available elsewhere.
I’d say subtle rather than somber. And there are some plants that I like as much at this time of year as when they were flowering.
Great composition! What’s the pointy, star-shaped white capsule in the lower left?
I do enjoy your “scans” Lovely bloom day post

Lovely scan. The statiny seed chambers of the common milkweed are very decorative, aren’t they? And is that maiden grass looking like the milky way at the top?
That one looks like an an antique photo to me. Beautiful! Alas, I have no scanner, so can’t assemble my winter interest in the same way. since I haven’t done my gbbd post yet (Andrea nudged me on it) maybe I’ll try to assemble something. It sure felt good to be outside gardening in a tank top all day yesterday! Take that, November!
