After a blistering summer that extended well into September, we are now facing the threat of an early frost--that dreaded time for gardeners. First the hummingbirds left, then the Monarch butterflies, and now my pretty flowers are about to succumb to “Jack Frost.” Well, that means it’s time to harvest seeds or pull out the catalogs and begin planning for next year. Seeds and seedpods are amazing structures. They demonstrate an astonishing ability to perpetuate the species. Moreover, they have an incredible beauty all their own. The flowers may be going away, but they’ve left a marvelous reminder--their seeds.
