These stems are long and green with light colored tips. You may need to click on the picture to see them better. I don't know why, but I find them extremely interesting. There's just something about the way they look. It almost looks as if they were cut off, and that there should have been something more there, but I don't think that's the case here.
I've just never seen anything quite like this. Maybe my brain is just weird or something, but I really do find this feature of the plant interesting. I can't quite put it into words why I do, but I thought I'd share the picture with you to see what you think about it. Okay, talk to you later.
That's another member of the Brassicaceae family, musk mustard! The long thin stem-things are actually the seedpods, which will grow little "peas" in the them as the summer progresses.
ReplyDeleteBeing seed pods makes them even more interesting than before. Thanks for the information. Now I really have something to think about when I look at them. :)
DeleteI'm glad somebody had the answer for you, Ratty - all I know about plants is that they are fun to chew on!
ReplyDeleteThat's almost all I know about plants too. Yes, some of them are fun to chew on for me too.
DeleteYep! Diana beat me too it! You're not crazy! :-)

I knew those stems were interesting. I just didn't know how interesting until now.
DeleteI do not know too much about the plants, but thanks to your stories it acquires new information, nice picture :) Regards
ReplyDeleteNow we both know a little more about these plants.
DeleteSeedpods, there are more than one stories in each of the pod.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's always so much fun to learn those stories.
DeleteIt was a great photo Ratty, I don't need to tell you any info though as it's already been done!!
ReplyDeleteThe extra info on this plant makes it even more interesting than I even believed at first, don't you think?
DeleteI know almost nothing about plants, Ratty. The stems are interesting, with the segments. I'm glad someone came to the rescue.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's always fun to find out an answer to a good little mystery.
DeleteShe beat me to it. The four petals and those long upward curving seed stalks always say Brassicaceae
ReplyDeleteI wish I possessed even a quarter of the knowledge of plants that I find here in the comments.
