These are some of my favourite seedpods, all dried out yesterday when I saw them in Fish Creek Park in the Sikome area. As you can see by the sky, we had an absolutely gorgeous winter's day yesterday. This plant species was introduced from Eurasia and it has become a very unwelcome plant, spreading by means of the many, many tiny seeds it produces. The round seed capsule is surrounded by the "enlarged, bristle-topped sepals", forming the tiny, veined "urns" seen in my photo.
