PEONY SEEDPOD...

#ABFav_Autumnal

 

Another aspect of autumn.

 

Normally the term “going to seed” has a negative connotation, meaning to decline, go downhill, age out, etc., but with peonies, I mean it in the nicest possible way.

 

I think peony seed pods are absolutely charming, giving the spring bloomers a whole other season of interest.

At summer’s end, when they split open to reveal their shiny blue and red seeds, wow!

Very impressive!

 

I especially like the open seed pods of the woodland peony (Paeonia obovata), with shiny blue to blue-black fertile seeds and brilliant red infertile ones.

 

Have a wonderful day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
