Ok, enough bulbs for tonight. I'll finish with some seed heads from my poppies adding some winter interest to the garden 😊 #seedheads #poppy #papaversomniferum #opiumpoppy #wintergarden

I love keeping many of my perennials as visual interest through winter! The critters and birds that are still hanging out love them too! What do you do with them?

This is a beautiful photo.

@richard.spicer.7906 Fantastic. Love 'em 😊

Cant beat leaving seed heads on for the birds 😃😃

Stunning like a sculpture

Lucky birds to have found your garden 😊 It's interesting, this year I followed the advice of doing less "tidying up" in the garden and I can't believe how many more bird visitors I've noticed than before....will definitely do this next fall again 👍

Thats a great pucture, would look good in black and white hanging on a wall.

#poppy seed heads, always attracts the blue tits at this time of year, and with a bit of luck I'll have enough seed left to start next years collection #autumn

I have never been able to grow poppies. What's the secret?? #seedhead #freeseeds

Lovely very delicate 💕

😁👍🏼 @jilly

That is so lovely 💕 glad the rainy weather didn't take affect your poppies (I hope!)

The brushed colors inside the petals are so beautiful

Thanks @qubit 😊👍🏼

Hi Elisa 😊👋🏼 - hope you are enjoying your trip to the UK. The poppies lasted only a couple of days - I always find you have to be quick to catch them otherwise the petals have fallen and you miss them. Got some great fat seadheads forming now. I'll collect a couple of my favourites and leave the rest to the birds to peck at - it's a great sight to see 😁

@riakat

Good to know, I'd like to plant some next year and then maybe the birds can be the seed sowers 😊 Thanks, Rich, having a wonderfully busy time over here and the garden/plant looking is a feast for my eyes!😍

It's Friday folks, which means one more work day till I can get out in the garden 😊🌾🌷🌹🌸 🐝🐛🐞

Darn it - i missed this poppy flower again. Although, only just - the heads still look amazing though. These will slowly fill with developing seeds 😁

I love the structure of seed heads 🐰

Doh 😤

A well taken close up

#bestof2015

Found a new one coming through. Yay! 😀

Well, i completely missed these in flower over the last 3 weeks. However, the ripening seed heads look very majestic!
