I’ll simply title this next picture the off-season. If you garden, you know exactly what I mean!
The leftovers of an Echinacea purpurea (Purple coneflower) seed head after the birds have visited.

Lovely shot Dave. Our echinaceas have zero seeds left on them too. We bought a thistle sock feeder this year to help the poor hungry finches. Not very attractive but the birds seem not to mind. 🙂

Dear Dave .. I love all pictures of echinacea : )
I have some with gorgeous "snow hats" on .. so I guess that will be in my next post .. inspired by YOU ! : )
Cool, Dave! We always leave ours up (along with all our other seedheads) every winter for the hungry birds! We think they appreciate the shelter as well as the food. (And keeping our Cultivated Wild Meadow standing until spring also helps shield our chickens from the brutal winter wind.)
