Honesty harvesting

After the large rainstorms and wind yesterday I went out to see how everything fared. Mostly fine, the tomatoes blown around, and I propped them up for now with a bench. 

I noticed the honesty is mature enough to collect. Usually I cut the stems then remove the seed husks and collect the seeds. But I had a great, lazy, idea.

 Just husk them in place, drop the seeds back into the pot, where I would have planted them anyway. Then cut.

I noticed that the Japanese maple, prized by me among other things,for its dye, has dyed a nearby seedpod.

And here's this year's addition to the honesty collection.

Now in place with all the previous years, in the downstairs bathroom, the Little Gallery.
