This weeks theme is Funky
Plants and flowers can be pretty funky and good thing too since that’s this weeks Photo Hunters theme!
Take this Clematis seed head for example. This clematis vine develops very large bluish purple flowers. When the flowers are finished they turn into these funky almost woven seed heads.
As the seed heads age each thread that makes what I’ll call this woven ball appearance begins to get fuzzy. Eventually this seed head will be a fuzzy ball somewhat similar in appearance to a a dandelion seed head.
Of all the clematis vines I grow this one makes the most unusual looking seed heads.
I both of these photos on Thursday. This last one was taken at about 8 pm in the evening as I stood under the bamboo trellis that the vine grows on:
I wonder what funky photos the rest of you came up with?
That is fascinating. I haven’t ever seen that!
Neat flower/seed heads. They make wonderful patterns.
Nice photos. Our clematis vines really flowered well this year (I’ve got some photos somewhere)
Have a great weekend!
Tricia,

I love these seed heads – how cool are they! Sigh, Clematis just wont grow for me – double kudos to you!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen those before.
Quite beautiful in their own oddly unique way.
