“Thank you! Thankyouverymuch!”

From the campus garden-by-the-greenhouse, a seed pod I’ve been wanting to post… It looks to me as though it were taking a bow (hence the title). Family Solanaceae, genus Datura, possibly D. metel.

I agree. Definitely looks as if it's taking a bow xx

So funny - it does like like it's taking a bow. What an interesting seed pod.
