Honesty Seed Heads

Also known as a money flower.

A neighbour was digging up his Honesty plant and was kind enough to let me grab some seed heads to photograph indoors. Captured in natural light (using a reflector). The background is a sheet of art paper, which I chose to complement the colours in the seed heads.

Better viewed large I think.

I honestly must find some of these seeds heads but I never seem to see any.
Excellent still life with great light and a great background, looks even better viewed large

Keith Burton replied to James:

I haven't seen them around for ages until I spotted these in a neighbours garden. If you have a florist shop near you, they may have some as they're used in bouquets as decoration.

Glad you like this one James........thanks for viewing large and for your kind comments as always. Much appreciated.
