Native Connections

Sorting through some photos and rediscovered this fun one from our Lupine knoll. When Lupine seed pods dry, they contract until the pod explodes from the tension. This seed landed squarely in one of the leaves of the Lupine plant. I'm sure it got knocked down to the soil eventually. Due to their explosive nature we store the collected pods in a big mesh bag that sits in the sun like a big bag of popcorn!
