rusty brown seed of water sorel

All those autumn shades to finish off the year Lori. The similar seeds of Docks were used to play shop when we were kids, either tea or coffee. Solemnly served out to the buyer on a leaf.....ah those were the days!

That is a charming mind picture, Dorjac...I really think that creative play like that, makes for creative adults. Dock seed is so like the colour of roasted coffee beans...I remember making leaf pouches with maple leaves..folding the three lobes over one another and using the stem to hold them together...making a little pocket to fill with imagined delights! those definitely were wonderful days. ;-)
