Pods

Seed pods of the Schlefflera, also know as the Octopus tree.
Long pod stems shoot from the top of the tree with a bright red color,
attracting local birds, then turn brown, then sprout out these little urchin looking seeds.

This is a small portion of the stem, featuring an urchin seed that measures about 1/4th inch across.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice selective focus, making for an almost abstract-like composition. V

Very unusual. Super shot emphasizing just the one pod.
