Relics of Seasons Past & Sepia-toned Beauty

Madison

I went in search of harbingers of spring but found only sepia colored relics of seasons past.

Relics

Not sure what the flower is, but it makes a pretty relic.
This is one of my favorites – a dried wild hydrangea flower from last season.

I love the color of dried grasses, and especially like the little bits of fluff in the junctions. I believe this is Little Bluestem, one of our native grasses.

The harbinger of spring is one of the earliest blooming native wildflowers here at Wild Ozark. Others of us plant-watchers have been reporting seeing them, so I thought just maybe I’d find one too. But I wasn’t disappointed in the day’s collection of pretty relics. Even if they’re not harbingers.

This post was originally published in Feb 2016. I really liked this one, so decided to run it again this year.
