Melissa- I have yet to see these amazing pods that look like something from outer space. I find them so fasinating in shape and in colors. Love the angle of your shot and the way you let us look down into the the holes to see the seeds it holds. Beautiful and fasinating work here my friend. Have a wonderful day, do enjoy.
