Wow. Am I right? Look at those tiny little heart seed pods. At least I'm pretty sure they are the immature seed pods or fruits as they are specifically called. |
 |
I've noticed this particular weed for years, but this year I really noticed it. As in, what in the world is this gorgeous little volunteer and can I grow it where I want it? |
 |
Will it last in a vase? I wondered. Yes, it will! |
 |
A big question: What IS it? I thought I knew. Pennycress. But, when I checked, I was wrong. It is Shepherd's Purse. Cool name, huh? I do have Field Pennycress growing as a weed around here too and am going to investigate cultivating it for dried flowers. |
Now, if I can "harness" them and get them to grow where I want them I'll be thrilled.
Little hearts showing up right now in the world was pretty wonderful.
♥ A very surprising gift for sure. ♥

Those little hearts are going to add to your tank garden bouquets before long. I wonder if they'll dry and retain their delicate appearance!
