Winner of the “weirdest seed pod” in the garden this year: Matelea reticulata (Pearl milkweed vine) I’ve never seen this milkweed vine before, despite it being native. This plant was so fascinating that I let it go and enjoyed the green flowers, with a pearlescent ball in the center. The seed pod was crazy! It seemed alien it was so unique. I am going to seed a bunch of the drier areas (I have areas around my oak that nothing grows in) in my yard with this. Even though it’s a weed: it behaves itself and I enjoy it.

I’m glad you liked them! I was a little nervous to expand my blog. But I’ve gotten some good feedback, so thank you!
please let me buy some seed from you for the pearl milkweed vine I can’t find them anywhere!
Send me your mailing address (I won’t post it) and if it creates seed again I’ll just mail you some. I don’t mind sharing. It’s such a pretty weed!
