3 seeds of the Erodium family. This seed uses a spring mechanism powered by shape changes as the fruits dry. The spiral shape of the awn can unwind during daily changes in humidity, leading to self-burial of the seeds once they are on the ground.
@jackies365@bkbinthecity@sue_s@terryliv@Cherrill@ingrid_marianna@skipt07@franklein@barb_b@jetr@ckwiseman@777margo@scottmcc1 My dear 365 friends, thanks very much for your kind comments. I did not think that I will find so much attention with this filler. A winter bug caught me and after work I did not feel like going outside again. So I chose a subject from my “seed collection”. First I have to admit, that on two of this samples the real seed, which is very small and sits on the tip of the spiral, is broken off. But still I like these seeds very much because they are a good sample of how nature can be so intriguing in the smallest things. If you dare to take a closer look. I'm pretty sure that each of you knows the plants from the family Geraniaceae. We call it stork’s bills, in other countries they are called Heron’s Bills, Filarees or Geranium.
It just makes no sense having fever, and amble alone through the forest.
