My fennel plants were spending more time on the ground than upright so I clipped a number of stems with seed heads for a vase. They're joined with a Cimicifuga seed head and those of Kirengeshoma palmata Koreana group.
I love how the Kirengeshoma seed heads look like fat flower buds about to explode open.
To see what other gardeners have put in a vase today, visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden who hosts this long-running Monday meme.
Very creative and quite striking - and it looks really good in its setting.

Love it, I am familiar with Cimicifuga and grow fennel, not sure I have seen the seedheads before. The combination is striking and wonderful with your other elements.

It's a striking arrangement, with components suggesting movement. Well done!

Oh who would have thought that few prunings could be put to such good effect - such an elegant result, Linda!

Makes quite a statement. You've put these materials together so well.

We had a neighbor who's house was between renters (empty) and the front garden was absolutely covered in bronze fennel. I couldn't help but harvest some of it. Fennel is lovely vase fodder!
