Next years Moonflowers are seeds in this unripened pod

WOO HOO!!! Pam, this is FANTASTIC!!! What a totally wacky bud!!
And your picture within a picture works PERFECTLY!!! *high five*
Awesome...I can hardly believe the transformation here, what FUN to see what's inside!
Now that you can do a picture in a picture, you'll be like me, unable to resist doing this with almost every picture! :D YAYYY!!! BTW I showed my husband and he was amazed to see that flower from that bud-alien pod thing! :D

Thankyou Bob and Janet !

Janet.. when it ripens I will take another pic. They then split and the zillion seeds scatter.

Thankyou B.J

What a beautiful seed pod, and your secondary photo is such a good idea here.

Well, thats one that I haven't come across. Super shot.

Thanks John ! ... They really are spikey too ! Not soft and friendly ! When ripe they are worse !

do they come in blue? I love the pod and the flower is mighty fine too.

They go brown... best I can offer !!!

Indeed they are Jonathon !

And if you want more seed.. just message me.

I love these !

sheesh, looks pretty wicked!

LOL... but the flowers are...........WONDERFUL !!!

I would never have known that such a spiky seed pod could produce such a lovely flower. A wonderful photo.

Sputnik! I love this pod, I had no idea they looked like this. Super shot, Pam.

Yes !! And when they ripen the spikes are vicious !

Hallo Pam,prachtige foto van deze Doornappel en de bloem in de PIP is helemaal het einde! YS
Ik heb deze vruchten samen met Fred Fouarge in de natuur geplukt en gezaaid ,maar ben heel erg geschrokken toen in het internet las hoe giftig dat ze zijn!!!! Dus niet eten en goed de handen beschermen.Beste wensen Frans......

Dank Frans !

I do not worry... I know the Shamen revered this plant. It is all ok if you do not plan to eat it ! I will not do that !!! The perfume is beautiful and the Sphinx Moths love the flowers

Pam
