Crepe Myrtle

Crepe Myrtle in autumn colors

Milkweed and Maple : 3

The milkweed pod is gone because my son tore it apart to see the seeds, but he replaced it with a cherry tomato picked from the garden that is the backdrop to the vase.

P.S. Wishing you much success tomorrow as you launch your new career as a music teacher!

Milkweed and Maple : 2

This is the same arrangement from yesterday except that I added a milkweed seed pod, and the leaves and flowers are wilting just a little. I was watering the garden and saw that the pod had opened up. The little feathery seeds are beautiful-- both floating on the wind or lined up and packed in their pod.
