Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

I go for Sempervivum.

And right you are Luit. It seems your answer was posted just a few seconds before I said no, but yours hadn't appeared when I sent mine. :)  
It is an old seedhead from a sempervivum and taken on a wet day. The previous day had been dry and it looked less like a seed head and more like some sort of geometric design. It was that I wanted, but missed it. Well done Luit. Sorry there's no prize. :)

I fear I'm getting into deeper and deeper water here. Anthony I said no to Aquilegia and something else(meaning not their seedheads. It was obviously a seed head) but then as I was posting "you're on the right track though," Luit was posting "sempervivum." He posted 12 seconds before I did, but his hadn't appeared for me before I sent my post.

Now, I think I'm answering posts that have been removed because they're in my Inbox but not in the topic. ??? ??? ???

edit by maggi: I removed some of the posts which had crossed in the ether and got everyone confused  :-X

No way, your puzzle was a real brain teaser Lesley, you can't get off the band wagon now, especially as there is so much that could be puzzling from the SH  ;D

I wondered that, Michael, but is the one in the pic not too "fat"? Maybe another grass head.... greatly magnified?
