No seeds right now, but here is another image as the cone develops.

Now it really looks fancier! A little more like a dressed hat, getting more regal looking. And I what I meant was when the seeds are dry.

Wow, it almost looks like a cattail now!

I'm still waiting to see if some of my other flowers will set seed. If the rain ever stays away for a week or so. It's been so overcast, gloomy and rainy for most of the plants. Some actually drowned in this seasons' record rainfall. That's why I've been asking for a lot of seeds from here and there. Nearly most of them are gone with the rainfall. (sigh ... I can still dream for next spring ... * :^ (

The birds get most of the seeds from my plants, that really why I plant them. Each year it seems more and more of them find their way to my garden.
