One of the few remaining blooms. Time to collect seed for next year.

Alas, not frost hardy here. Will have to collect the seed, and/or, dig up the plants I have, pot up and put in the shed to overwinter - whichever I decide, as grew this year's flowers from seed sown last year, in anticipation. :-)
PS. I like the way the blooms seem to "float" in the air above the grasses. This is because the stems are so slender, and don't really show.
