I must admit that I'm not so good with tropical plants. Glad you were able to have it identified. If that is the saltcedar who posts on gardenweb I can attest to his botanical knowledge.

I found my way here trying to identify a plant/seed pod from google. Off subject but maybe I might find help here? :D I purchased at an outdoor market some corkscrew like seed pods (unlabled, to use as a spice), having no idea what they were, thinking I could find the answer on google. So far thee only progrees I have made is finding an image of it here: http://myturksandcaicosblog.com/?p=1297 (3rd image is the seed pod). On this page they state the name is "Blind Eye Bush". On further searching I haven't been able to find any information on a plant with that name. Thanks! Beautiful plant and photo, great discovery.

You have a nice blog. It would appear the purple fringed orchids got started a little earlier here. I considered revisiting the area again to photograph them in full bloom but the poison sumac got me pretty good. Mike Hi Jackie,

Was nice of them to do that. You have a nice blog. It would appear the purple fringed orchids got started a little earlier here. I considered revisiting the area again to photograph them in full bloom but the poison sumac got me pretty good.
