Touch-me-not / Jewel weed??

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

Yes sir, jewel weed. When you hold the seed pods in your hand, they " explode " and shrivel up. Feels just like something alive is wriggling in your hand. Will have to edit pics of the pods and post them. Good eye!

I suppose that is why they are also called "Touch- Me- Nots"

Here is a picture of their seed pod. I have only ever seen solid green ones before, so I had to take a pic of this colorful one.

This is what the pod looks like after it " explodes " and curls up in your hand. Must be the effect of heat.

Wow, that's different, never heard of them before. Nice shot by the way.

Thanks! They grow wild here and are easily spotted along roads and paths.
