By September, the two Tweedia caerulea seedpods were about 4-5 inches long. I kept checking to see if they started to open up... They didn't open until three months later in December.
(Tweedia caerulea) Family: Asclepiadaceae
The host plant for Monarch butterfly caterpillars is milkweed, and I have observed leaves being devoured from tip to stem. This is the first time I have witnessed a milkweed seedpod being devoured in the same manner. I noticed that the caterpillar avoided eating the seeds, but rather purposefully dropped them one at a time..

I can’t wait for the moment when the milkweed seedpods burst open and the silky seeds flutter away in the wind. The way the sunlight sparkles on the silk is so lovely.
Not sure on the species of tree, but these fruits were quite common. The red veination is a bit of a mystery to me since it doesnt appear to be the root system, perhaps a warning not to be eaten by animals?

There were hundreds of these on the ground around a tree in our town. Each one is very intricate. What tree are they from?
I saw these on a cedar tree. Probably seed pods, but they look kind of alien and science fictiony. Interestingly, the pods have lines dividing them up into segments, and each segment appears to have its own little nubbin, or horn, each oriented apparently so as not to interfere with the others; a clear case of Dawkins' blind watchmaker at work, I'd say.
Seedpods of honesty with the sun picking out the different colours and textures and emphasizing the contrast with the tansy behind.

You don't see these everyday. Most plumeria are propagated by cutting off a branch and sticking it in the dirt. Many plumeria never make seeds and some do a bunch. Producing plumeria from seeds is not all that much slower than cuttings, but the issue is color. These flowers could have been pollinated by any number of other plants, so the plumeria coming from these seeds could be any color. Each pod produces hundreds of seeds.

My Mom showed me the Bower Vine seed pod which we have been waiting to dry up. It was just starting to split so we collected the seeds.
I've never noticed the beautiful seed pods of the iris before (by the pond.) They look like polished wood, then split open to reveal dozens of small brown seeds-which also look like shiny wooden bits.
Wild white indigo, a native plant, has really neat seedpods. This was at Native Nursery - I have one but although it flowers, it's growing in too much shade to produce seeds
Poking around my yard the other day, looking for things I could take pictures of. Getting tired of tripod shots...
