Redstem Storksbill Seed Atop A Bed of Moss

Redstem Storksbill Seed Atop A Bed of Moss
This morning I was looking for some pretty subjects to photograph, when I found this lovely little corkscrew just waiting for me! Just 1/4" in length, I nearly missed seeing this little guy, sitting in position on a bed of moss. When conditions are just right--humidity & moisture, temperature, and length of day--this seed will pop open and its root will gravitate downwards. The corkscrew shape will help to secure it into the moss! I wonder what it will grow into!!!
