Prairie Smoke Seedheads



I have a lot of Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum) plants lining an area in my front yard beds. They are slightly in front of the mums (and sometimes in between the mums). Plus a few more scattered about the rest of my garden. They bloom in mid spring, go to seed, and then are done. But, the foliage is attractive and makes a nice green background. This isn’t a very showy plant; you can hardly see it from the street. But, I like it.

Here is a pic of the blooms from a few weeks ago.



Here is a pic of a few of the plants – they are only about 8 inches tall.


Here is a recent pic from one that has a seedhead now.




 I think it's cute!
