.....a most UNUSUAL Seed-Pod

Last week I posted a photo of NIGELLA damascena....also known as 'Love-in-the-Mist' due to the fact that each of it's flowers sit upon a tangle of lacy, fennel like foliage that forms a mist around the flower. I alluded to the fact that it had a most unusual seed pod.

This is it. A bizarre, striped, egg-shaped, horned seed capsule....still sitting upon it's lacy foliage... is what remains once the NIGELLA flower is done blossoming. It's great fun to see an entire bed of these as the summer ends.
