The kids and I went to Old World Wisconsin at the tail end of June. For those who don't know about the place, it's a museum of sorts where they've moved houses from all around Wisconsin, with all kinds of different ethnic architectural styles (Finnish, Danish, German, etc.) to a huge parcel of land in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. It's a fun place to visit for the history...everything's recreated, from the furnishings to the people in period costumes to the gardens. Yep, the gardens! There are not only fields of wildflowers, but gardens planted with heirloom plants that would have been grown during the particular time period (late 1700s to early 1900s, depending on the particular setting).

I snapped a photo of this unique plant. I love the seed heads! Does anyone know what it is? I'm drawing a blank.
