Just a tiny opening is all they need...were you tempted to pot them up??

certainly an unusual sight...it seems early in the year for sprouting too..the new growth is colourful though..

Wonderful shot. I guess they must sprout, they are seeds after all!

It's another sign of strange timing :)

What are they? Creepy but cool photo Pete! :)

I suppose they have to grow somehow - I've not seen it either!

Great find, nice that they have had the chance before the Bairns picked em up.
