Seed Dispersal with wind and gravity

I like plants that have hidden treasures. Sometimes, it's a hidden flower like ginger, or Jack-in-the-Pulpit have, and sometimes it's the way they produce and disperse their seeds. The seeds of these plants are held in tiny pods or cups that open as they dry. A little wind to rock the plant, and gravity does the rest. 
Remember to 'like' and 'share' the love of nature!
