Sunflower head (without petals), tomatoes


These things (sunflower head, tomatoes) landed in my kitchen at the same time, and somehow wound up in a windowsill arrangement together. The sunflower head doesn't have any petals, but,with its dramatic green bracts, it was too pretty to throw away. I put it in the vase facing straight up, which made sort of a nest for the tomatoes.

Horsetail (Equisetum) collected from roadside in Montague, Michigan. Smaller than any Equisetum I've encountered before.
