Rosebay willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium) seed pod discharging seeds. Each seed has a plume of fine hairs that help the seed to remain airborne,aiding its dispersal by wind. The seeds are contained within chambers in a pod. When ripe,the pod splits open (as seen here) to release the seeds contained within. Photographed in August,in Dorset,UK | |
