What a beautiful selection 4P  I agree they add a new dimension to so many plants, and are as attractive as the flowers that preceded them! Although at the moment I have been greedily harvesting quite a few of mine to spread their babies far and wide ;D x Tig |

Thank you. I am fascinated by the different structures and methods used to disperse seeds. We have been looking at lots of them at work. We usually gather quite a crowd when we are pulling them apart and trying to understand how they function. The silver birch seeds are wonderful - when they are pulled apart each seed is the shape of a tiny mexican hat - all arranged around one fragile stem. It's wonderful to see the design and variety... |

I think it is fascinating I love showing our Grandchildren busy lizzie seedpods - the way they turn into caterpillars when they pop ;D I also love Cyclamen seedpods and the way they spiral back into the soil ;D |

I showed my Grandkids the busy lizzy seeds, put a ripe one on their hand and told them to just close it gently Made them jump ;D And showed them 'natures pepper pots' and how well they scatter the seeds. Alstromeria are another amusing one for kids, 'cos they do 'pop' when they shoot off .. |
