In the spring the plant is green with golden flowers and by the summertime the flowers fade and you see these glassine leaves with the seeds inside. To be honest it wasn’t until I zoomed in with my camera this year that I noticed the seeds. I think various creatures are enjoying them but I might save a few seeds this year.

Echinacea grows in three different spots in the yard. The bunnies mowed down one patch but have not touched the other two as far as I can tell. Finicky eaters!

Despite all of the holiday programming on television and the fact that I live in a neighborhood with many children and so many of the neighbors’ houses and yards are ablaze with Christmas scenes, I’m still not quite feeling Christmas-y. But Steve’s handcrafted trim is certainly helping.

Flowers and herbs, real and faux. Just playing around with colors and textures and even scents (that’s Thai basil in front) to make a little spot of joy. Since this photo was taken the echinacea flowers have become seeds in a bag and a small bowl of blood oranges sits next to the faux orange flowers. Amazingly the Thai basil still looks the same. And when I lifted it just now I realized that the stems had grown roots. A certain fellow in this household has an upcoming planting project as soon as I find the right pot.
