Gone to seed

The seeds of 'Echinacea purpurea' are packed in tightly and loosely attached to this tiny 'cone' at the center of the dried flower head.

Even though these have been drying out for a month, there are still touches of muted green, not obvious to the naked eye...a nice surprise when I looked through the lens.

Maybe I'll just strap the lens to my head so everything outside doesn't look so dead...
