Thanks, cooler! I got a new 50mm macro lens last week (Olympus f2.0 pro series) and I just love it! A great lens does make a difference!!! I always appreciate your comments!

Lovely flower.
The seed can stay dormant in the pods until theres a brush fire then they pop open & scatter in the ash ready for the rains to germinate them.

I did not know that! Thanks for the info. I love to learn about things in nature! The pods are very tough, now I know why!!
