As our recent windstorm seems to have blown summer away in a single day, (really! Daytime highs went from being in the sunny upper seventies and eighties to being in the wet sixties.) it was time to bring the dried seed heads of Allium schubertii in from the garden before they started decomposing in the rain but where to put them? As per usual in the outlaw household, they just got thrown into some random places.

Here they mingle with other allium seed heads, papyrus, and some Lunaria annua (Moon Plant, Silver Dollar Plant, etc.)

In trimming back some branches of the Paulownia tomentosa so heavy with seed that they were touching cars that parked in the street, I couldn't bear to simply throw these interesting seed pods away. Since they were taking up space lying on the patio table, they got brought in and thrown into a vase until I figure out what to do with them.

Here they kind of dominate the dried hydrangeas. Some of the allium were quite large this year!
