Western Stoneseed seeds / Lithospermum ruderale


This is a supermacro of the very tiny seeds of the Western Stoneseed plant, also called Western Gromwell and Woolly Gromwell. I like the shape and shine of these seeds. This plant is a species of flowering plant in the Borage family. It is native to western Canada and the western United States, where it can be found in many types of habitat. The 4-6 mm long nutlets are white or brownish and are as hard as stone. Four nutlets form per flower. Photographed on 27th August on Howard Hornecker's land, west of Nanton, Alberta.
