I kid you not! This is called a Family Jewel tree. Never even heard of it until my friend Mike posted these photos on Facebook today. I got together with a few of my friends whom I haven't seen for several months and Mikey brought one of these seed pods for us to view "in the flesh" as they say. Needless to say it our conversations for a while were quite...um....interesting!Nature makes the most unusual things! According to Mike this particular plant belongs to the milk weed family. These seed pods will, at some point, burst open and all the fluffy little seeds will fly out, looking for a place to settle and sprout.
