I became interested in seedpods one summer when, as a result of a busy life, the garden had to fend for itself.
One of the gifts of my neglect were the seedpods that had formed. Their amazing shapes and colors directly relate to purpose. The seedpod is tenaciously devoted to self-preservation and their forms describe unabashedly how they go about this.
