"UNLESS A SEED FALL INTO THE GROUND AND DIE..."
This last spring, my neighbor gave me a few seeds that he had harvested the year before.
They were brown and dry.
I planted three of them.
They broke through the earth and began to grow...and grow...and grow...!
A beautiful vine over twelve feet tall produced lavender shaded blossoms on almost purple stems.
And then came the seed pods!
Hundreds of them! Each enfolding two or three tiny seeds. Each tiny seed a promise of yet another vine that will produce hundreds more seed pods, etc. etc. etc.
The wonder of it all.

I can't tell exactly from the picture, but it looks and sounds like a very young redbud.
The seed pods look exactly like a redbud....as does the little bit of the branch and leaf structure that I can see + the lavendar flowers
Is it really a vine?
Either way....very cool story
Tell Helen hello from me...
