Seed Clusters

Here in Richmond we've all been focusing on the air-borne pollen, but these maple seeds are worth noting too. I've never seen such enormous clusters of seeds all tightly packed together on a branch. When they break free and start twirling through the air, it should be quite a sight!

Oh, wow! Those are some serious seed pods! When they start to fall, the air will be full of "helicopters!"

[Mrs. Smith]

Wow! That will be a sight! I can't believe how many there are!

[Kerri]

Cool

[Rick Schies]

That is one huge bunch

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They're so pretty when they twirl to the ground. Nice shot.

Interesting to see so many clustered together on one branch..I think I wrote once if I could sell these little twirlers when swept together in a big heaps (we usually have that many) I would've some extra pocket money.
