This is the seedpod of the Salsify plant, a vegetable of which the root is eaten.

I have an endless supply of these
locust pods now that they are falling
off the trees. I've decided to pick up
the ones that are curved to try to use
them to embellish on a gourd. Thought
they would make an interesting piece.
When I get the gourd finished I'll have
to post it so everyone can see how it
turns out.

My friend brought me a treasure from a recent trip to Santa Monica (she knew I would love it). Does anyone know what this wonderful thing is? Isn't it remarkable?
According to Internet sources, the toxicity of raw castor beans is due to the presence of ricin. Although the lethal dose in adults is considered to be four to eight seeds, reports of actual poisoning are relatively rare. According to the Guinness World Records, this is the world's most poisonous common plant.
The beans are extremely dangerous, but there is poison within the leaves, too!
The blossoms, however, are very popular to bees!!!
I was hoping to choose a few of my photos from yesterday's day trip into British Columbia ready to post today, but I overslept till about 10:30 a.m. (less than an hour ago) and so still haven't gone through them : )
Took this photo of a Glacier Lily seedpod during a hike several of us went on to Arethusa Cirque, in Kananaskis, on July 30th. I thought it was a rather elegant seedpod.
