The final blooms of some potted Gerbera Daisies

This one is going to be sending little seed pods into the air soon
In the background is a desperate bloom before the frost

I love the way the dried leaves seem to curve and caress the seeds, sort of motherly

This is still pretty even dried. You can look forward to many more from this plant next summer.

I love all the details Pete and the yellow flower in the background.

I like your comment about the dead petals caressing the seed pods ... I can see it! Beautiful detail ... :)

Great capture - and thanks! I never knew that Gerbera Daisies went to seed like this. They always look so "put together" when they're blooming!
