The Reason for Flowers

There are many people
who would think that
my field of flowers
has become an eyesore.
While there are a few blooms
(pictured further below)
most of the flowers
have turned to brown seed heads.

The goldfinches
think that these seeds
are a marvelous feast.
They land on the stalks
and nibble happily at the seeds,
breakfast, lunch and supper.
So when is a flower at its peak?
When it is pretty and bloomy
or when it is dried up
and ready to eat?
