🌺Wow.. haven’t seen that before.. great to see how it opens too👍

@Joan323 it lives up to its name! This is the first time I've seen them, too.

Whaaat?? Just when I get my PhD in botanicals this is all new. Lol.

@willows I wish I could have done a time lapse of the bloom. I imagine they look like a balloon exploding. Pretty cool!

I have done a few time lapse shots that turned into keepsake home movies- I really suggest it, the outcome may take a few but you will get the hang of it! (Time lapse hybrid melon leaves grabbing onto various things its' vine noticed -may have been a tomatillo, years ago) 🙂

I love these 💜

Ugh I love these 😍

I'd never seen anything like it! I rescued this planter and these popped up! 😁💕 @juliesgarden @ladysidon6

Sweet!! Just found this #seedpod in one of the planters I salvaged. Pot was labeled #balloonflower and indeed it looks like it!!!❤️

Nice one Jenn 🖒 Never had seeds on mine.

I can't believe with all the rain and stuff that this little pod sat there in perfect condition... I just tipped it over in my hand and said "well!" 😁 And the pot still having its plant label... #priceless 😉 @jeatacake
