Late fall and early winter may not always be full of colorful wildflowers and insects, but they are full of interesting seeds. Many plants that flower in the summer or early fall produce seeds during the late fall and early winter. If you keep an eye open, you will see an incredible variety of shapes, sizes, and colors among the seeds. Some of them are quite beautiful. On several of my recent hikes I have come across some seeds that I thought were pretty cool. Below are a few of the photos that I’ve taken of some of them. Notice how different from each other they look, yet they still have the same function; reproduction of the plant life that they represent.
