A wonderful, tall tree of the Fabaceae family. Has very long seed pods, but all mostly empty when I pick them up from the ground.
Doghobble Leucothoe spp are evergreen broadleaved bushes that usually grow in or around water here in the NC mountains. So named because clusters are so dense that they make it difficult for dogs to pass (hobbling your dog). These are the seed pods.
I don't remember having seen seedpods on our wisteria, any other year, but this year we have quite a few. The weather conditions must have been just right.

HBW :-)
When all is said and done, the flowers are gone, and even the seed has spilled, sometimes, there's still beauty left. (freesia laxa)
Within two hour of taking photo all the petals and stamens had fell off leaving just the pod at the end of the stalk.
The black seedpods of this plant are quite interesting to look at.

The last of this year's poppies, self sowed from last year's late blooms that grew from the seeds I planted.
Taken on Saturday, 21 September 2013, when friends Sandy and Janet and I joined a group of people from Medicine Hat College to drive a long way across the prairie in SE Alberta to an area called the Pinhorn Grazing Lease. Yucca plants, which are not found in Alberta, had been discovered there and were being closely monitored. They spent a few hours counting every single plant and clone, how many new clones, how many old ones, how many seedpods and how many tiny exit holes from a certain insect were in each pod. It was interesting to find quite a few Seven-spotted Ladybugs huddled inside some of the older, more open pods that had split. Most of the plants were in enclosed "cages", the largest of which could be entered. The GPS location was recorded for every plant, and careful notes were made. Very tedious work, and I commend everyone for doing this. Have to admit that I wandered the area with my camera, photographing the plants in various stages and the surrounding scenery. We were so lucky because two of the plants were in a second bloom, whereas all the other plants had seedpods. Couldn't get a decent photo of the flowers, as there were just too many old stalks in the way, but I did add one to my album for the area ages ago. It was a treat to be able to see Yucca flowers, and a surprise for the folks from the College. We aren't sure how these plants got where they are, but it's possible that they were brought north by Native Americans. We were very close to the border with the US and could see the beautiful Sweetgrass Hills rising from the flat prairie in the distance. A very interesting day for us and one that we were so lucky to experience.
