and what a seed pod

Forms of nature.
You may remember I posted a flower on my poinciana - first time flowering in 10 years. Well this seed pod (the only one that was set) is around 2 feet long and it's quite thick, yet it looks nearly transparent in each pod section.

I love how this has turned out in B&W. The dark pod against the light background is lovely.

@sugarmuser mine has been sick since I bought here 10 years ago. I ended up cutting it down completely and found it had borers right through it. Then after a couple of years it started to shoot back and that was a few years ago! OK, I thought ... now finally this year it has flowered.
I've always loved these trees, now if it would like to grow huge I'm even happier - it has a lovely bench seat underneath too :) https://365project.org/koalagardens/xtra/2019-12-22

Doesn’t it feel great when you rescue a plant from the brink like that?

It makes an interesting image.

[Shutterbug]

Makes an interesting abstract-like shot. 2 feet? ... amazing. I guess with that many seeds in one pod, it doesn’t need to set a lot.
