Im really into seed pods lately. I love all the transformations plants go through during their seasons to produce and carry their seed. The Melianthus major or Kruidjie-roer-my-nie (however you pronounce that) plant in the garden has an abundant cycle of soft light grey/green sawtooth leaves . It produces tall cones of red/Burgandy flowers followed by clusters of puffy green seed pods. I collected several of the drying pods from stalks after a cutting.
Find out more about the beautiful Melianthus major.
