As the end of the growing season approaches and flowers start to disappear, please brighten our forthcoming short, dark days by posting some close ups of leaves, bark and seedheads in your garden here. 

To start off, here's a maturing seedhead of Miscanthus sinensis "Zebrinus", Zebra Grass.




Wirral. Sandy, free draining soil.

    @Plantminded Lovely photo I must let my photographer bro know about these lovely close ups.
    Great start to a new thread that I will look foreward to seeing many more.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Sorry, @Plantminded but I was out for a walk, and passed this in someone's garden

    Thank you @rowlandscastle444, I was just curious as it doesn't look like anything that I know - apart from goose feathers!

    I'd sort of thought we could include this sort of thing either in the flower close ups which is including leaves, etc. or in the creative photography thread if that's more appropriate. I'm concerned that we may end up with too many photo threads if we're not careful, and not know what to put where. Just my personal thought.

    My intention was to replace the Close Up of Flowers thread with this one as the season fades, which @bertrand-mabel and others thought was a good idea. These are just ordinary garden photos, not creative photography, so I think it's appropriate to place them here. There's never been a sense of ownership or rules and regulations to these threads, they develop or fade as regular and new contributors show interest or lack of interest.

    @rowlandscastle444 Just wondered if the seed heads were clematis?
