BeautyScope 277: Wisteria seedpod

Wisteria don't just have flowers. I adore their seedpods too. Don't you?

Reminds me a little of a waterslide.

Can't you imagine the ants in the rain!


curling around

you release your seed

smooth and spent

swinging in the wind

you hang, a bauble

a perfect spiral

  2. An ant playground, or have they just been wrung out to dry? Either way, a magical photo :-)

  3. The ants would be lined up for such a fun spiral slippy slide! Gorgeous contrasting picture...it's hard to realise it's related to such delicate flowers. D&M xxxx

  6. Very much so, save for if you accidentally step on the (often very) pointy end points (did that a few times as a barefooted youngster).

    Big hugs & happy wishes for the coming week,
