One of Nature's Oddities!

Went for a walk a few days ago and saw this.I think it's part of a seed head from a flower.It looks more like a tangle of wire wool!

That's such a pretty shot!
Was it on a climbing/rambling plant? It looks rather like a Clematis seedhead.

[Rosie Kind]

That's beautiful - really well spotted

[Juliette Packham]

this is superbly captured - great light and nice focus - looks really interesting

[Beth]

Neat Capture. I've never seen anything that looked quite like thatt.

@dulciknit Yes,it was climbing around another plant.I think it was a wild flower as it was growing in a forest near some catkins.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

It's almost certainly a Clematis seedhead, aka Old Man's Beard.
Did the plant look anything like this: http://365project.org/dulciknit/other-photos/2012-01-27 ?

PS. The leaves in the shot are on a briar.

[Juanita]

The seed heads are so pretty - great capture!

[carol white]

@dulciknit Thanks for information.I googled it and I agree it's definitely Old Man's Beard.

Love all the twigs going in different directions and the sharpness of the seedhead is great

[Marisa]

I really like the detail.

[Armorel]

I love the structure of the seed head with the silvery light shining through the tiny hairs :-) Faved !
