where did all the money go?

The empty seedpod of a coffeewood tree. Back when the coffeewood/paulownia market was hot the logs from a single tree brought a few thousand dollars. This seedpod held hundreds if not thousand of seeds. Now that the market for paulownia has collapsed it doesn't matter where the seeds went. I still like the "Little Shop of Horrors" look of the open pod .... reminds me of the spice worms of Arrakis from the book/movie "Dune".
