Surprise! It's not all brown, in rainy and warm (when this photo was taken) Portland. I've heard of a few seeds sprouting in-situ this autumn. Crazy times...

Oh yes, that has happened a few times with my cardoon seedheads. I've seen it with coneflowers too. Do you know what flower that is?
ReplyDeleteI don't sadly. It looks like it was a good one!
DeleteI think the seedpod is Burkheya purpurea.
DeleteThanks Rod!
DeleteWhat a hopeful surprise to see in the midst of decline!
ReplyDeleteSpring, it's closer than you think.
DeleteHow wonderful! Thanks for noticing and sharing them with us :)
ReplyDeleteTrying to keep things hopeful...
DeletePretty impressive!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to keep an eye on them.
DeleteI had that happen with hollyhocks. Sadly, an effort to get them growing intentionally fell short.
ReplyDeleteAin't that the way?
DeleteCool seed heads. Silly seedlings. This is a crazy fall. Still no frost in sight. I think that's Berkheya purpurea, btw.
ReplyDeleteI would be fine if the weather continued like this all winter, but how realistic is that? Ya.
DeleteRain and warm in the PNW? That is unusual (the warm part, anyway).
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
It's been freakishly warm, for November.,
DeleteWow - it's actually sprouting in situ... Cool!
ReplyDeleteVery!
DeleteI love it when they do that! Purty shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
