So far, no one has guessed what plant this seed pod came from, so I’m showing a photo of just the seeds up close. Can anyone guess what plant this is? I promise I’ll give the answer tomorrow. Or today if someone guesses it.

Hmmm — I wonder if it could be Bird of Paradise! (See my comment on your other post)

It was an educated guess. The leaves looked like they might be bird of paradise, and the color of the bit of flower fit the possibility. Then I went to Wikipedia to verify. I had not seen them before.

Nope.. Fun guess, though. They are bird of paradise seeds.

I can often guess these things you post, but this one? Not a clue. :::pulls up chair, munches popcorn and swills margaritas, waiting for answer:::

Isn’t it the most gorgeous seed? I bought some of these in Hawaii 40 years ago, but have never seen any produced by my plants..I’ll tell you before the end of the day. Curious about whether anyone knows what kind of seeds they are.

Based only upon your hint of Hawaii, I’m going to guess hibiscus. The orange furry stuff is confusing.

They look like something one might find in Hawaii — like some of the colorful birds!

Just like the flowers they turn into, but the orange is more like fur..Such quirky little seeds. Love ’em.

Yes, I, too, thought they look just like the flowers they turn into! They’re wonderful — is this all you have? You should plant one and see what happens!

I got four of the seeds. The rest had already fallen and will perhaps plant themselves. Perhaps I will plant one. J

I haven’t seen a bird of paradise in person since I was about 9 years old. I would never have guess 😀

Wow. I had one growing in front of my house in San Diego and always cut the blossoms off when they finished. I wish I hadn’t! Those are wonderful.

Now i’m going to have to check the plants in my area for seedpods! – my next-door neighbour should be a prime candidate! They are way cool! 🙂

Never seen strelitzia seeds before today! (which is curious because i’ve lived near several plants for the best part of 40 years now?)
I just found out also that the Rose of Sharon hibiscus seeds look very similar, but not as colourful! – their pods have 5 lobes, not 3.
You live and learn! 😉

Before you mentioned it here, I’d never heard their scientific name before..or (upon checking it out) that they are also called crane plants!
