I'm so proud!


 The beautiful Magnolia Tree I planted at my old place is lush, huge, and producing the famously disturbing Magnolia seed pods.


Magnolias are famous for pre-dating bees, and so are pollinated by a motley assortment of non-specialist beetles. They can be less than expert at getting everything pollinated, resulting in disturbingly misshapen seedpods. And just sometimes one that looks exactly like a thingy.
