Invasive wildflower but very pretty - grew fast and tall, then purple-blue "star" flowers appeared on top; blooms progressed downward.

Venus' Looking-glass (Triodanis perfoliata) tiny seed capsules in the axils of the leaves

Venus' Looking-glass (Triodanis perfoliata) about 5mm long seed capsules ... the pores (on sides) have opened, most of the very tiny seeds have been dispersed and a few seeds can be seen on the leaf and stem. It has broadly elliptical to rounded capsule openings which distinguish it from T. holzingeri which has linear pores.
