Hey guys, any chance of getting an ID on what plants the following two seed pods come from please? My botany skills are sadly lacking!

I have seen these before but like you im no botanist. i think the second works well as a photo.

I feel sure I've seen that 2nd one before too. I've no idea what they are I'm afraid, I'm no gardener.

Boon is our resident flower/plant expert if he sees this he'll no doubt pop up. :)

Nice shots btw!

Thanks guys.

/drums fingers on desk impatiently awaiting Boon :p

When I saw the first pic I thought it might be a Foxglove seedpod.
2nd pic throws me totally. :thinking:

The first definitely isn't foxglove, but I agree it does look kind of similar. They were pulled from a scraggly brown plant (I told you my botany sucked!) next to a lake.

The second I nicked from someone's garden, so it could be pretty much anything!

Tbh, it might help if you hadnt shot them so they looked so artistically gorgeous! :thumbs:

Haha, thanks. It turns out the second shot is of bladder senna (Coletea arborescens), and the first is a member of the figwort family (which includes foxgloves, hence the similarity), although I've not been able to narrow it down any further.

Nice shots and #1 reminds me of The Little Shop Of Horrors :lol:

Yep... "Feeeeed Meeeee" :D

That 2nd shot really is a corker though.
