With a twist

With a twist
I always find the seedheads of the Yellow Mountain-avens quite fascinating and certainly beautiful. These plants grow along river banks and flats, on gravel slopes and roadsides. The elongated styles become feathery after pollination has taken place and are often twisted together when the fruit is immature. I love to see them in this twisted state. The plants in my photo happened to be growiing on the bank of the river near Forgetmenot Pond, which gave the background blue colour and the sparkling waterdroplets in the bokeh.
