Do any of you internet-savvy folks know of a site with images of unusual
seed pods? Someone gave me one last weekend, and all she could tell me was
she cut it off a shrub she saw growing in a yard in southern Missouri. She
wanted me to see if I could germinate some of the seeds. I figure I'd have
a better shot at it if I knew what I was growing! A funny looking little
thing, at first glance it looks almost like a tiny round pinecone. On
closer inspection, it's made up of lots of little curved seed pods clustered
together into a ball. It looked like some of the leaves were attached
(dried up now) and they appeard to be very fine, sort of like a mimosa. She
didn't see the shrub in bloom, and hadn't a clue what it might be. Anyway,
I've tried doing some searches but only found one with seed pods, and my
little critter wasn't there...
If anyone knows any promising sites, I'd appreciate the information.
(or, of course, if anyone says "hey, I know what that is" I'd love to hear
that, as well) Since this is a perennial list, and not a woody plant list,
I'm certain it must be a herbaceous shrub...:) Sorry, Chris!
