Square-Pod Water-Primrose, January 28, 2015
Wildflower Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday
On one of my walks, these seed pods hanging over the edge of a pond caught my attention. They were the most unusual looking seed pods I've ever seen.
When I got home and looked them up, I discovered they are commonly called Seedbox (easy to see why). Their official name is Square-Pod Water-Primrose, Ludwigia alternifolia. They can be found in the eastern and middle United States (as far west as Colorado) and eastern Canada. Look for them in moist areas such as swamps and alongside ponds and streams. We will have to wait until Summer to see them in bloom.

Lea, I haven't seen one of those seed pods; beautiful! They are truly different! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredible seed pod and appropriately named! Nice photos, both.
ReplyDeleteCertainly never saw those before!
ReplyDeleteHave never seen those seed pods. They really are interesting. You will have to share some photos when they are in bloom.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are drawn to seed pods as reliably as flowers, and these are especially worthy of attention. They look manufactured rather than grown, somehow. I'm with Grandma Barg - I'm really looking forward to seeing what the blooms look like later in the year.
ReplyDeleteVery strange looking seed pod for sure. I've never seen one.
ReplyDeleteInteresting -- had not heard of them before.
ReplyDeleteHi Lea, I see I am not the only one to post seed heads. I've never seen this kind. They are cool looking!
ReplyDeleteThose square seed pods are unique! Have never seen anything like them. Most interesting post.
