Until we moved to Arizona, I had never heard of Apache Plume- but now I photograph the seed heads every summer. We have a big shrub of this native plant in front of our house. I can’t say it is lovely to look at as a landscape element- but the craaaazzzy seed heads and little flowers are quite captivating!
Another apache plume for today- I love their inherent messiness!
These apache plume seed heads weren’t really blowing in the wind, but they look that way to me.
This is the flower from the Apache Plume plant that we have by our street- in color and with 3 black and white edits.
Perfect imperfection and impermanence!
