Any fruit is provided by a flower.
Starting from this reality I thought it was interesting to start a photography project entitled “From flowers to fruits and seeds”.

Old man’s beard(Clematis Vitalba) is a climbing shrub that develops on the trunk of the trees, or even on the ground without a support. It is found in the luminous forests or on the edge of them, in the humid areas, with fertile soils.
The inflorescences of the Old man’s beard are made of yellow-white flowers, with numerous long and yellow stamens. Blooms in June-September. In late autumn and winter, when the fruit is ripe, the woolly appearance of it can be easily observed.
“No spring nor summer beauty has such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.”― John Donne

I think the fruit one …..
Most think fruits are more interesting!
why does it not surprise me that John Donne’s favorite season was autumn
I do not think there is anyone who does not love autumn!
there are almost nine billion humans walking around. at least one of them doesn’t…
I opted for flowers. Your old man’s beard is one of a kind. Would you like to get it into your garden?
I don’t have a garden! IT couldn’t grow on the balcony!
It can easily become an invasive species and therefore it is not recommended to be planted in the garden!
I think the fruits are really interesting, the flowers look special too. I didn’t know there’s this Old Man’s beard. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
The fruits are more interesting , indeed!
Just awesome I have never seen a shrub like this one,
It is an invasive plant. The flowers are small and do not catch the eye! This shrub catches the eyes especially in autumn and winter when the fruits shine in the sunlight.
You always share the most unique photos, love each one of them.
What a nice compliment! Thank you!
