Autumn Musings

milkweed seed

 

Why do some plants have to die to spread their seeds?

Spent and brown, pods  burst in a last ditch effort to live on.

I prefer lantana's plan - seeds form amid the flowers.

Buds and blooms and seedpods together on one stalk.

Mingling generations.

Everything has to die to spread it's seeds. That's why die is NOT a four letter word.

Oooooo! Did you take that exquisite photo? MMmmm. I think I'm a seed pod kind of gal, but I like both concepts. Thanks for the question.

femme, Polly, jim - Glad you liked it. I took both photos. The lantana one is less visually interesting, but I like that it has all the stages of bloom on one stalk.
