A Mystery...Part 1

The world of blogging has so many rewards. I think the extra special part of blogging for me is meeting so many wonderful people. I have met two blog friends in the 3-D world. A true treat to meet the people you share and learn so much from reading the special posts they create.

 I hope to meet this next blogger this summer.


She lives in Wisconsin. She lives in Southwest Wisconsin. She likes to garden. She sent me a surprise package this past Autumn. And inside was a mystery!
She also sent me some of her very own Hollyhock seeds.
I am so excited to plant the seeds this Spring.

And now on to the mystery.


 She sent seed pods that were green and had pointers on them. We had to dry them.
This was the fun part. Each day the boys would go and peek at the seed pods. One day the seed pods exploded! It was so fun.


 The green pod was soft.
The little seeds are peeking out.

So do you know what this mystery plant is?

The big reveal will be posted soon. A Mystery ... Part 2.

    I'm pretty sure I know what your mystery plant is. Technically a weed, isn't it? But it's so beautiful and the flowers are fragrant. If I'm on the right track...

    I think your "mystery plant" is considered a weed by some...but a good one because it draws butterflies? Maybe I am wrong....lol
    So glad you have met bloggers and really enjoyed getting to know them. Kris from Big Rigs sounds like a doll. xo Diana

    It's a prickly pear...hahaha! I really have no idea. At first it looked a little like a sweet gum ball. It will be fun to learn more about it and if you really want to plant the seeds. Hugs, Diane

    What a fun way to acquire seeds. Love that the pods "exploded".
