I have no idea what kind of plant this is, but I just love the way it looks.
This is yet another find from my favorite nature park.

Thanks to all for viewing and commenting.
Robin, I've tried Googling it and haven't found an answer. I have every intention of catching it in the spring/summer to discover what kind of flowers it produces. Next time I am there, I will see if there is a name tag on it. I'm very curious.

What ever this weird fruit is it doesn't want to be touched. :-) Great close up.
