Holy crap they look flippin’ cool! 

These plants are grown in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and appear as though there is no planting of them, other than spread by natural seeding in a certain shade area just before the Native Flora Garden. 

The actual flowers in the spring/summertime looked flippin’ great, and these seed pods which are only slightly smaller than whiffle balls are filled with hundreds of seeds that are covered by a white cotton type of substance for optimal wind pick up.

Way cool!!!Â
