after the end of some flowers...

I found it was easier this end of season, to collect celosia seed that simply fell out of my arrangement onto the table top, rather then rub them out of the dried flower heads. Perhaps more mature that way, too. Flowers are done and gone into the compost now.

Threw out my bouquets of mums, they started to look crummy. I thought just held in the vase too long, but after removing one handful, found this small inchworm had been hiding and probably feeding off the flowers' foliage the entire time!
