Packaging….
To the right is a picture of the seed pod of a hollyhock plant. Any given flower stock may have upwards of a couple of hundred of these pods with each pod containing about a hundred or so seeds.
I like the way they are nicely packed into a tight little circle. Note also that the seed pod sort of bursts open from the middle out, losing bits of the wrapping skin as the seed head dries out.
On the left is a picture of five swallowtail butterfly caterpillars eating parsley. Basically, five voracious little gift wrapped butterflies.
One package’s contents dry up and blows away. The other package eats, poops, and eventually the contents fly away.
