Ruby Tuesday : Black Locust Tree pods

On our walk this morning I noticed the Black Locust had beautiful red pods .
An event I've never noticed before.
The pods are said to be toxic.
They hang on through the summer & winter months and then pop open come spring.

    Fuzzy red seedpods
    dangling from locust branches
    ripen in sunshine.

    Hi!
    We have locust trees here, but never paid any attention. I'll have to see if they have some pods on them. Have a great day!!

    Wow, I never knew they were red either. We have a forest of really huge red locusts and I only see them when the fall to the ground already brown.

    Not a plant I know, but despite being toxic, those pods have a beauty. Quite stunning.

    I guess that bright red color is the warning! Don't touch me! They sure are pretty:)

    I enlarged - they look like fuzzy red caterpillars! Isn't it fun to discover something you've never seen before? Enjoy your weekend.
