I love milkweed pods.
I enjoy these items from nature every fall. I love them when they are opened up like this. The seeds with the white silk is sooo beautiful. I do not think you can find a white whiter than this....
I enjoy them when they are not open, I enjoy them when they are partly open.
I really enjoy the pods when they are empty as well.
These wonders of nature are a great decorating item.
Put them in a container with water all by themselves. Put them in a floral arrangement.
I have been known to put these dried pods in my holiday tree as well.
What are some ideas you may have?
Thanks for stopping by.

As kids we used to take batting,tie a bunch at teh top for a head with ribbon and glue on the seed pods for wings. They were really cute.

Can you believe I have never seen these before? They are so intriguing.
I picked some of these to plant in my yard next Spring. I read that caterpillars love them and I love butterflies! I will have to make sure to grow a lot of them, so I can use them to decorate next fall!
