They're beautiful till the end when the stalks blow off and tumble about the yard~Lovely opening photo! gail
Your photographic skills have improved so much since I have been reading your blog MrMcD. Great photo here at the first. Love the baptisia for all it's seasonal appeal. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Planted two varieties this fall. Nice photos. Happy Thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving MMD!
First photo, purple with yellow background, beautiful. But the other one is my favorite. There's something about that blue pot!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Lovely plant, perfect first photo! Wishing you a wonderful thanksgiving with your family. Thanks for the blog visits and exchanges we have shared over the last few years :-)
Hope it was a lovely Thanksgiving, Barbara, and that your computer woes are relieved. Baptisia is just such a neat plant, and I'm glad I have more of them around the garden. Slow to establish but so worth the wait.
A beautiful arrangement, especially in that blue pot! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Very interesting! If mine ever start putting on that kind of a show bloom-wise, I'll have to make a note to save the seedheads, too.
Hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I really love the color that the leaves turned. Would it be possible to cut the branches a little early and dry them with the leaves still attached, without loosing the depth of color? It just seems like they would make an increadable dried arangment. Hope you had a great thanksgiving!
Thanks, Gail!
Lisa - it's not so much my skill that has improved as my tools; better camera & photo editing software make all the difference.
Greggo - If you have the room, you can never have too many Baptisia. They're all nice plants.
Thanks, VP!
Lea - I loved those blue pots so much, I got three of them, each a different size. They're supposedly frost proof. We shall see.
Hi, Shirl - life has gotten so crazy, I haven't had much time online lately, but with winter coming, I plan to increase my time for blog visiting.
Jodi - thanks to the wonderful people at the Apple store, I'm back in business. My first Baptisia surprised me by how big it got when it finally got going. Now I know how they act. Definitely worth the wait.
Rose - I hope you had a good Thanksgiving too. Mine was crazy busy, but that's life.
Blackswamp Girl - 'Purple Smoke' is sterile, so no seedheads. I get my seedhead fix from 'Midnight Prairie Blues.'
Jessica - I wish I knew, but I'm not a dried flower arrangement person, so I've never tried.
