Fading

Remember these Crocosmia I showed you?

The first ones starting showing on 06/12

Crocosmia or Montbretia / Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora on 06/26

 

Well... now the blooms are long gone and the bright green seed pods are fading. Sometimes the leftover pods on flowers can be quite interesting and colorful in their own way. See the wonderful gradient from green to yellow to brown.

 

 

Here is an idea of the full effect... I know the picture is out of focus, but you get the idea. Next year when the clump of Crocosmia is larger, perhaps it will be an even better show!
