A prettier seed

kw: observations, photographs, trees

My neighbor told us she doesn't like her Dwarf Dogwood. This year in particular she is upset because it is dropping many of these seed pods on her driveway.

The tree stands on a strip of grass between our driveways. It needs to be a dwarf tree for the space is small. We've been here fifteen years, and the tree hasn't grown. It is about twelve feet tall.

But I really like the seed pods. They are pretty. The regular Dogwood seeds are nice enough, but this geodesic-dome look really catches my eye.
