Mystery Seed of the Week 183

Note:  I’m afraid my computer had a bit of a Thanksgiving overload last week and took a nap. Hopefully, the repair elves can keep it from being a permanent nap. In any case, I don’t have access to many of the photographs I was planning to use for Seed of the Week this month and I’ll be scrambling a bit. Please bear with me.

The seed in the pods look quite delicate. Too bad the plant itself is an invasive meanie throughout much of North America.
