Guess what these are!

@khirsch asked for a more difficult 'guess what' challenge, so here it is.
I hope it's not too easy.
Looking forward to the guesses....don't be shy!!!

[Margaret Brown]

Like the photo with all the reflections, no idea what they are, sorry! They do remind me of nutmegs!

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@craftymeg no they're not nutmegs but I do see the resemblance . Glad you like the reflections and thank you for being the first person to have a guess! 😊

[Karin Hirsch]

Hmm nutmeg was my guess as well, but I see I have to try again @craftymeg. Great shot with the reflection

[Karin Hirsch]

Looks like somekind of nuts to me. Are they seeds of some kind?

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@craftymeg @khirsch clue: they are seeds not nuts!

[Karin Hirsch]

@shepherdmanswife Wasn't to bad with the seed guess, no the question is what kind?

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@khirsch that' for you to guess:)

[Sue Wilde]

I suspect they are seed pods of, maybe, a flower

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@swilde - not a flower, something more edible! :)

[Zam]

aw man, this is so nice!

[Carl Dry]

I don't know but I love the tones.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@zam @carldry111 come on, have a guess! :)

[Karin Hirsch]

peas?

[Margaret Brown]

Another guess, peppercorns??

[Gwen]

Persimmons?

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@khirsch @craftymeg @swilde @zam @carldry111 @flossy_101 @craftymeg @khirsch ok, another clue....the flesh around the seed is very yummy! The seed or stone is much bigger than a pea or peppercorn.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@flossy_101 what is a persimmon? Must google it:)

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@flossy_101 have looked it up. We call it sharan fruit but its not very popular in the UK. No it's not a persimmon. Have another guess...

[Zam]

Calimyrna figs ?

[Gwen]

a type of apricot?

[Gwen]

or prune???

[Sue Wilde]

Quondong

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@zam @flossy_101 @swilde gosh, what's a quondong? No not apricot, fig or prune. Another clue... Very calorific

[Sue Wilde]

Sorry apparently they're spelled quandond (just pronounced to my erratic spelling). They are bush tucker and very delicious fruit. They also make great jam.

[Karin Hirsch]

@shepherdmanswife I#d guess ice-cream seeds, but since this is impossible :cocoa

[Karin Hirsch]

Sorry forgot to read the above properly, cocoa is off the list, since the flesch around the seed is't very yummy. Bush or tree fruit?

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@khirsch apparently a tree. Had to google to find out. We don't have them in this country. It's native to central mexico.

[Karin Hirsch]

@shepherdmanswife try to solve the puzzle later , off to the garden we have friends for a BBQ and its still so hot

[Margaret Brown]

Another guess pleeez, avocado seeds??

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@craftymeg @craftymeg you got it, well done. I guess it was harder than I thought it was but I suppose that's because I knew what they were. I love avocados.
I intend to try to grow them. They'll have to stay indoors if they originate from Mexico as our climate is nowhere near warm enough😊

[Margaret Brown]

Haha, the penny dropped you had everyone going for a while, I think I will have to put a what is it photo in my album if I can think of something :)

[Taffy]

The one of the far right looks like a chestnut. But I wonder if they are seeds. I tried not to read the thread in case you've solved the riddle. But in spite of non knowing what it is, it's a wonderful image.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@craftymeg I'm following you now so I can have a go at your guess what it is, so hurry up and think of something.😊

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@taffy thank you for your comments. The riddle has just been guessed correctly. There are clues in the thread if you want some. Your guess is not correct by the way!

[Lisa]

fave, love this

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@nanalisarocks thank you for the fave Lisa

[Kelly]

very fun thread and excellent image! I'd say you met your challenge --

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@yellowdog yes I guess I did. I didn't think it was that difficult, but was fun to do!
