seedpods are one of the STILL blog subjects i keep returning to.  i wish i had taken better care of some of  my specimens.  now several of them have lost their seeds, and that is a little bit of lost magic.

seedpods are technically different from seed-heads, seed clusters, and seeds.  seedpods are several-seeded vessels that split when ripe. they are milkweed pods. they are poppy pods. they are plane tree pods. they are water lotus pods.  they are my current favorite.

assorted specimens from minnesota, california, and southwest france
