Are we living our dreams?

It doesn't work. Try to go up to uploads and see if you can find it, then copy and paste it into the post.

How about this?

Can't tell for sure, but I'd say it's in the legume family. But since that's such a huge family, that's admittedly not a whole lot of help. :/

Here's my guess. They look like a mimosa tree seed pod and seeds. As a child, some friends and I used to play under a neighbors mimosa tree. We pretended they were beans, lol. It's a good thing we didn't actually eat them because they are poisonous!

Google Images has some real good pics.

Looks like Locust tree seeds as well. I know there are a few trees that have pods like that.

They do look a lot like the Mimosa seed pods. If your mom liked flowering trees that is a good possibility. My grandma had one in her yard we used to climb all the time, and they do indeed look very familiar.

It's been awhile since I've seen the seeds for mimosa, but I think they're flatter than these seeds. Maybe it's just the angle, but they look more round.

May be. I dunno, the mimosa seed pods at grandmas was very similar to those, same color at least.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

There may be some regional differences.... Mimosa was the first thing I thought of when I saw 'em, but I've never seen Locust seed pods...

But, who knows? It will be sooooo intereting to see what they turn into! If they are Mimosa - it should be obvious very soon, as the seedlings are very distinctive.

I thought about locust.

I tried to google for mimosa seed pods, but what we call mimosa is not what the rest of the world calls mimosa and I didn't feel like trying to remember the scientific name. It's something like Albizia julibrisian. I USED to know how to spell it, but it's been too many years since my tree course. Plus, I'm too beat to look it up. I'm about ready for bed!

Rhonda, how are you doing? I've been thinking of you and praying for you often.
