BEAUTIFUL SEEDHEADS

Often, in a garden, I find that seedheads can be really attractive long after the flower petals have long gone.  I expect there are thousands and thousands of plants that create lovely seedheads, so these are just a few from my garden.  And one strange seedhead or seed case that arrived in my garden from goodness knows where and to this day I have no idea what it is.

As mentioned, I never did discover what plant this seedhead or seed case belonged to.   I have never seen another since.
