I started taking these pictures on July 1st knowing what the result would be. I don't know what this plant is but it is growing wild in my backyard. The first year we were here I looked out the kitchen window one day and couldn't believe my eyes as the area it is in is mostly a miniature bamboo and some other simple wild things, none of which is cultivated, just kept trimmed and clean.
I took these pictures over the next 2 months watching the blooming and then the setting of the berries. I think the color is very rich and lovely!
It's a beautiful collage of all the stages of the seeds but I would like to see the whole plant. i have seen a lot of seed pots hanging in trees but maybe the time wasn't right yet as all the seeds seemed to be green.
What a gorgeous collage. I love that you planned this and made it work so beautifully. I've seen photos like this in seed catalogs - but they were never so lovely.
I do believe those are fruit of the Hydrangea bush. I posted a pic of some ( http://365project.org/revjoel/365/2010-08-13) back in August. Of course your collage is way better than my pic.
This is so funny, Suzie, I took a picture of a beautyberry on Sunday and my friends house but have not downloaded it yet. it is a native plant here. Must have one. We are like two peas in a pod:)

And I love the purple colour.
