Looks to me like the seedheads of Hypericum.

Don't know what they are but they surely are unsual (to me ) and pretty and interesting. There are
those on this NG who may know, however. Good luck.

That would seem to be right Anne - I have found a rather revealing picture
at http://www.roselite.com/en/fillers.html where it doesn't leave much
doubt.

These are two different plants, right? The second picture looks like Bells
of Ireland, with those distinctive green flower bracts. I don't know the
first one. Where do you live, and was the plant growing wild, or is it
cultivated?

The top one, with the red round things, or the bottom one with
the green things with white things inside?

Do the red ones ever open?

The bottom one looks like Moluccella laevis, commonly called
"Bells of Ireland".

I was told it was the same plant, but it looks like two different ones for
me. A friend is a master gardener and his daughter gave him those photos,
said she saw the plant in a physician's office, and wondered what they
were. He was unable to identify them. I'm in Virginia, to answer the
where. I don't know about whether it was wild or cultivated.

Thanks!

The first looks like the fruit produced by a Hypericum (aka St. John's Wort) -
they tend to develop colored fruit capsules layered with the green bracts.
There are many different species of hypericum, so not positive which species
this is, but the fruits are often used in fall arrangements. Here are a couple
of links to not great pics - the best I could find.
