Today I Saw

Wild Cucumber Seeds in their space ship pod.

One of them seemed to just be opening. 

 

Today I Saw

Today I saw the flowering part of a Russian Olive tree.

and.. for good measure, I also saw the flower of the aforementioned and oft (recently) photographed Bryony.

Today I Saw

Today I met Bryonia from the tribe Benincaseae.  It read to me from the gospel of Cucurbitales which, if translated correctly, claimed an intention to take over the planet.

Bryony

Today I Saw

Today I saw fresh new tendrils of a Bryony.  (The first I have seen of the season) Can you see last season’s dried up tendril.
