Seeds are remarkable. I was going to write a few paragraphs about seeds but there's so much to say I'll have to return to this topic with a number of posts. Suffice to say the past, present and future of a plant is encapsulated in its seed.
The photograph above shows the thorny pod of a Devil's Trumpet (
Datura stramonium) splitting at the seams so to speak and chock full of seeds. NB I posted an entry a couple of weeks ago concerning this poisonous/hallucinogenic plant- handle with care!
