You've probably heard of Spaghetti Squash,

but have you heard of Shaghetti Palm?!?!
I don't usually allow my pygmy date seed pods to open up as they are tremendously messy. They got away from me this year, though, and opened up before I realized it! However, what a great opportunity to notice how fascinating the pods, seeds and strands are!
This pod just opened. The seeds are still neatly packed inside.
To enjoy other macro shots, be sure to visit Maia at Macro Flower Pictures for Macro Saturday.
Have a great weekend!
