Time To Plant Those Seeds
Spotted this Lotus seed pod that has matured to the point it looks ready to drop the seeds it is holding. It's interesting to see how much those seeds vary in size, and that one is already missing.
Not sure how they are deposited? A gust of wind, a bird who drops it, or it wilts as it ages and they just fall out? Regardless, hopefully at least one gets planted, and next year we'll be able to see and enjoy a beautiful Lotus blossom growing at the edge of the Lotus Pond.
A fun discovery at the Lotus Pond at Dauset Trails Nature Center.
