A new one for me . . .

While weeding a flower bed I came across this.  It's the seed pod for a dogfoot violet.  I had never seen one go to seed before.  The seed pods are close to the ground so they are usually hidden by the wide leaves of the plant.  This seed pod is similar to the seed pod of other violets and pansies.  Look at all those seeds.  No wonder so many of these things pop up in our yard and flower beds.
