A pod is a dry dehiscent seed vessel or fruit that is composed of one or more carpels. Carpels are one of the structures in a seed plant comprising the innermost whorl of a flower. Sometimes, you can identify the Family a plant belongs to by the shape of its seedpod. In addition, seeds even in the same seedpod can vary a bit in size and shape. Many seed pods form immediately after the short lived flower drops off and form throughout the growing season. There are hundreds of different seedpods and each is a protective covering for the seeds within. Cast in Pewter or Zinc and finished in Antique Bronze (AB). All pieces hand finished to give them definition and brightness and then powder coated to seal in the finish and make them food safe. Dimensions: 4 1/4" Boxed set of two. Handmade in the USA.
