hidden secrets

i bought these scabiosa last fall specifically to dry them because i like their buckyball seed heads. what i didn’t know was the delight i would find on a cold february afternoon after i had uploaded my photos of them onto my imac, and only then noticed the tiny white daisies left behind after their star-shaped seeds had fallen away. however you have to on your device, zoom in on this photo and look closely at one seed-head. daisies in february!
