Large seed pod looks like a garbage can and lid. Picture taken 4/29/11
Dried and open seed pod looks like a dinosaur (without any teeth) sticking his head out of the plant. Picture taken 6/4/11

The seeds just pour out of the dinosaurs mouth. We put them right into the soil. Picture taken 6/4/11
Beautiful photos, thank you for taking the time to document this lovely wildflower's progression.
I agree with Sofi... very wonderful to see the full progression of this plant's life cycle! It is a really neat plant which I have always admired. Thanks for sharing your pix.
