These were given to me by GypsySoul, a Flickr and LiveJournal friend, in 2006.
[Update] I planted a few seeds which produced light pink and cream colored flowers.

its weird! I am not sure if it is a datura. It has big purple and white bell shaped flowers - this seed pod already has a circumference of about 10cm and it gets bigger every day! i wonder how many seeds are inside. The plant was self sown in my garden - i have only ever grown white ones by cuttings and none have flowered yet so its a bit of a mystery to me as to how it got here. the leaves are a bit different from the white brugmansias i grow so if someone can tell me what it is that would be great!
This photo was taken 10 minutes before the accompanying sunset photo on Razor Hill. A seedpod’s delicate structure is revealed by backlit illumination from the setting sun. The prairie behind the seedpod was already in shadows providing convenient contrast. Best viewed in the larger size.
A stack of showy milkweed seedpods ready to have seed collected from them. The seed will be broadcast into locations where the soil has been disturbed along the margins of wetlands and river banks.

Dropped in the front garden from my tree this week. These are the seedpods or cones of the Bunya Pine Tree (araucaria bidwilli), which grows 30 - 40 metres high, and is found along the coast of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia.
The pods are about 25-30 cm long and weigh up to 6kg (14lbs).
The individual seeds are edible and were popular with the Aboriginal people, and now a gourmet food.

Seed pod of Aristolochia elegans in my garden. It froze to the ground but I'm hoping it will come back. Feb. 2017.
I've learned that although the Polydamus Butterfly can use this plant as a larvel food plant, it is toxic to the Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars. The Pipevine Swallowtail recognizes it as a pipevine but the caterpillars cannot live on the leaves. Now I don't know if I want it to come back .

I always think that Black Henbane is a strange flower, but with such a beautiful pattern on the petals. Photographed the seedpods of this noxious weed in Carburn Park yesterday, 17 August 2014. I love the seedpods this plant produces!
"An annual or biennial (forming a rosette the first year) plant that reproduces by seed only. Black Henbane was introduced from the Mediterranean and has been used as a medicinal plant since the Middle Ages, and was also used in ancient religious rites because of its hallucinogenic properties. It was even used as a flavoring in beer until the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516. All parts of the plant are poisonous to humans and animals when ingested – tissues contain several toxic alkaloids. Symptoms of poisoning include impaired vision, convulsions, coma, and death from heart or respiratory failure.
It is a member of the nightshade family and also called ‘stinking nightshade’. A single plant can produce as much as half a million seeds in one season, which are viable for about 4 years."
