  2. Ooooo, that’s so cool!! Happy Wednesday – we’re also hosting the Carnival of the Vanities today – busy day in duck-land!

  4. Um, is that a bud of some sort?? It’s neat but then kinda freaky at the same time. Beautiful shot though.

  7. Wow..that is really need. Now I need to go look it up so that I can see what the whole thing looks like!

    My WW us up!

  12. Awesome picture. Great clarity. My seedheads are brown already.

    Thanks for sharing…my WW is up.

  13. I’m thinking Day of the Triffids – ever see that one.
    Beautiful close-up – I am so working on my close-ups.
    Take care,
    Frances

  15. That’s interesting, I have clementis. I cut them down before they get to seed. They seem to survive it.

  16. hey, that’s a pretty cool pix!
    hi, i’m killired… been on the ww blogroll for a while now but i was on a blogging break.. .but i am back and i have a ww posted today… it’s under my sticky post… nice to meet ya!

  19. That’s interesting….I should go out and look to see if I still have some clematis….it used to grow on our tv antennae tower. Thanks for visiting today.

  20. Thanks for all the great comments. It does look kind of alien doesn’t it?

    For those of you that were asking this is the seed head (or what’s left after the flower is gone) of a clematis vine bloom. It’s from a Seiboldi hybrid – a blue clematis. Seed heads on my other clematis vines don’t look quite this interesting.

    I usually do dead head my clematis vines after they bloom, but this faded blosom was up too high for me to reach. I did zoom in with my camera though for this cool macro.
