Seedhead clean up today. During the busy season, I tend to make labeled paper lunch bags for different #seeds I want to save so I can collect them as they set seed & dry out. Paper makes sure they don’t hold unseen moisture & I can clean them when I have more time. (1/2) #gardening 🌱

Christmas rose (Helleborus niger). The neighbors’ honeybees are busy on an unseasonably warm day. 🌱
A fairly large, pure white flower is facing down like an umbrella. A honeybee is hanging from the stamens.

Adorable holiday decorations.
A lawn in front of a house on a sunny day. There are three small light up decorations, s golden retriever wearing a red sweater and red antlers, a small dog in a red hat and a green sweater, and a white shape that might be a deer.

#BirdoftheDay #Grounded
A red junglefowl from #Maui
A very proud looking, colorful rooster stands in profile looking off right toward a leafy bush. The bird has a red crown, face and gobbler. Long blonde feathers hang from the neck. The body is covered in rich rusty and brown feathers and the tail is some beautiful, almost iridescent green and navy blue feathers.

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 22: Pomander

These tiny decorative baubles are actually pomanders, designed to carry perfume, but the resemblance to the classic Christmas decoration is uncanny.

A pomander would have contained perfumes such as ambergris, musk or civit, and would have been worn or carried.
