It's a weed, but I don't know which one. Weird seed pods. Looks likes it's out of an alien movie.
A lovely Thursday evening spent out at our friends little farm in Vermilion County. The kids had a fun time swimming in the pond.

Made a visit just down our street to see Mr. & Mrs. Howard Johnson. Her flowers and his yard work are always great to see, and offer plenty of photo opportunities. Masca gnia macroptera. Butterfly vine seed pods really do look like butterflies.

These flowers are pot plants that I grow they are really unusual but have an interesting petal behind the seed pod.

This caught my eye as I was walking up the trail in our woods. Look closely and you will see that it is a remnant from last spring. There must have been some spider stitching to hold this poplar tassel on the small branch where it caught - and later to trap a falling leaf.
I think it looks a little like a wig with pigtails. :) But what creature would be small enough to wear it?
Everyone talks about children's art being free and it's so true. My 5 yo daughter saw me drawing some seed pods and promptly wipped this out. I love the composition so much I think I'll try embroidering it onto some linen.
A successfully hand-fertilized daylily will form a large, sturdy seedpod with three lobes. Leave the seedpod on the scape if you are breeding for your own experimentation. Scapes that are developing seed will remain green until the seed is ripe. Scapes that have no seed pods will dry and turn brown earlier. Remember to water regularly in times of drought if you are trying to produce seed.
Most books recommend that you NOT over-stress a young or weak plant by asking it to put energy into the seed. A strong and healthy mother plant will be able to produce one or two pods without harm, in my experience.
Do not harvest until the pod dries out and opens naturally - See next photos for the opening of pods.
