It was garden designer Piet Oudolf who taught me to see beauty in plants during their fall dying away. Here are two examples from my garden, the button-like seeds heads of Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm', and a hanging seed head of giant sunflower planted by birds, which grew beside our pond.
For more information on Piet Oudolf, I have a page on my web site about his garden design ideas.
Each season has its spendor Yvonne! Thanks for reminding us!!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne
ReplyDeleteSo great to hear from you again - After I started reading your blog, it is almost addicting to check it out.
It is such a wonderful gift to be able to see beauty in everyday things - even the end of the garden season. I also spend many hours (mostly during winter) studying my Oudolf books and I hope to eventually implement some of his ideas as successful as you have.
Your photos are just so amazing.

Thank you Eve and Salix for your kind comments. I really appreciate sharing my garden with you. I'm so glad you get something special from the blog. All the best to you, Yvonne
ReplyDeleteHello Yvonne
ReplyDeleteLovely shots - as you say, there is beauty at every stage not just in full bloom.
Best wishes, Adrian
