Plant identification, wild
hi all,
I live in Maryland, Z7. My husband and I saw a shrub, wild, in our back yard that is lovely. We collected some seeds and then started seeing them everyhwere. I do not have a digital camera so I can only describe them to the best of my ability. They are yellow with orange flecks, shaped a bit like standard orchids bred with pitcher plants at a minute size. They are approximately .5" in length and have a tail. The shrub grows in great round clumps, about 4 feet high and 4 feet in width. The most interesting thing about them is that the fruit they produce is about .5" in lenght adn are colored a bit ike a watermelon without the light yellow, and they "explode" when touched. The pod is striated, and the individual parts peel back like a banana but curl under. The seeds are small and brown. They grow wild in the northern/central part of maryland. Anyone have a clue as to what they are? Thanks in advance, Trai -- remove Flynn to email me. To send attachments, use trai UNDERSCORE rathsack AT yahoo DOT com...thanks. |
