Exploding Flowers
In NW Florida there is a little known type of flower which, at the base of each cluster, grows a chamber filled with a gunpowder-like substance. When disturbed, the chamber explodes scattering the seeds over a 100 foot radius. Through sheerest luck, I caught this cluster at the moment of ignition. (tongue firmly in cheek)
