Errr....this is how it looks after it has flowered and set seed. The flower head closes in on itself. This is the birth of next year's plants if you like :-)
Birth or death it's beautiful and eith dome imagination you transform it into a hat for the British royals. Crime de lèse-majesté ! Tess PS: Was away for a friend's wedding where I danced all night...only one leg to get tired. Lol

ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification. I've never heard of flowers folding up like this after blooming... except in a more dried up state. How fascinating.

I've never seen this flower. What is it's name in French?
ReplyDeleteCiel beat me to the answer (see following comment). Who'd have imagined that name given the English one?!
DeleteCe sont des carottes sauvages, ou cigüe. I only rarely notice them before they are opened!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty when it starts to go to seed!
ReplyDeleteAnd there are so many of them this year.
ReplyDeleteThat's a bit like opening a beautiful present oui!
