"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." -E.B. White




Do any of you recognize this pod and flower?

It showed up in one of my garden boxes. I let it stay because the flowers were beautiful (and, to be honest, I thought it might a potato). Then these translucent and vaguely sinister seed pods appeared. I am torn as to whether I should be collecting them to replant next year, or, preparing for an alien invasion.

ETA: Hibiscus trionum!! Identified by a high school friend, LeeAnn. Also called the flower-of-an-hour (so romantic!).
