Beauty in Decay

The goldenrod is just about finished. It's been a vibrant yellow all over the countryside for a few weeks now. I rather liked the look of this fading flower though.

I like the puffball seed heads In contrast to the dead heads. Nature in progress!

as important a stage as the blooming :)

I took some photos of "wildflowers" at my garden this week that are like this, although there are still flowers to be seen. I like the brown seed heads and white fluff.

[Tunia McClure]

Lots of seeds for the future.

[Molly]

A beautifully captured contrast of the blooms in the different stages of their life cycle.

[Taffy]

I like the contrast of brown and white and the story they convey.

[Valerie Chesney]

Very lovely...so soft.

@julzmaioro I imagine they do. Not sure the farmers like it too much.
