The "flower farmers" who sell their pretty crops at my local greenmarket weren't there this weekend. For a couple of weeks lately, they only had cabbage roses and great big fragrant bunches of eucalyptus. And this is Gomphrena globosa, aka globe amaranth, one of the last flowers they brought before they disappeared for the season. (I'll miss them until they return next spring—most likely with tulips and daffodils for starters.) [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday, Our World Tuesday, and Nature Footstep: NF Blo-Ma.] |
