BEAUTIFUL SEEDHEADS
Often, in a garden, I find that seedheads can be really attractive long after the flower petals have long gone. I expect there are thousands and thousands of plants that create lovely seedheads, so these are just a few from my garden. And one strange seedhead or seed case that arrived in my garden from goodness knows where and to this day I have no idea what it is.
Seedhead forming on the poppy papaver nudicaule. It looks like a tarantula!

As mentioned, I never did discover what plant this seedhead or seed case belonged to. I have never seen another since.
