Maybe a Red Bud?? I attached a link. Here is a link that might be useful: red bud pods

Finder brought this back to me today, opened. Smooth inside "shell" with a mummyfied looking loose center. Did not have a camera to get photo. The attachment point is the ragged end.

HA! OK, I'm not loosing my mind/memory. Mark, I retract my earlier retraction (apology) ;-)) I'm now 99% sure your pod is a Jonah (at least a Jonah grown from THSC). I was positive I got a shot of my Jonahs last year. After checking out this years Jonah this AM to take a couple of shot for you I remembered what photo had Jonahs in it from last year. This years Jonah pods: ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ Here's a couple of shots of plates of peppers I took last year. I circled some of the different varieties shown. Not circled = 7 Pot Douglah Blue = 7 Pot Yellow = 7 Pot Jonah Green = TS Morouga Purple = Trinidad Scorpion Black = Bih Jolokia (and one Dorset Naga) Light Blue = Nagabon I grew the 7 Pot Douglah; 7 Pot; 7 Pot Jonah; TS Morouga and Trinidad Scorpion using fresh seed purchased from THSC. I remember a post last year regarding the TS Morouga where Smokemaster commented that he's seen a lot of pod variations out there. I commented that I'd be hard pressed to distinguish between the 7 Pots and Scorpions I grew if they were laid out in front of me. Note the similarities between the 7 Pots and even a couple of the Scorpion pods (the four Scorpions came off the same plant but only two have the classic tail and the other two look similar to the 7 Pots). To be honest, I noticed that only the TS Morouga and 7 Pot Douglah grew consistent pods. So if you sourced your Jonah seed from THSC, like me, your Jonah pod won't look like the one on their website. I've already started thinking about what I want to grow next year and have decided to pick up some fresh seed from a different source to check out differences if any. I trust I have totally confused you now, job done ;-0 Now back to my other job. Bill

Explosive Dehiscence is very cool, I love plants that do that, except yellow sorrel which does it way too well. You asked a similar question in July on another thread but I don't know if you came back to read that again, so here's what I said. urmymom, if you have a cell phone it probably has a camera in it, and you probably have it with you about all the time. Snap a couple pics along with your seeds. If you post the (not too small or blurry) pics to "name that plant" forum, you should get an ID. Even if you don't find out the name, you'll have the picture to remind you. At this point, you could try posting pics of some of the seeds and see if people know what they are that way. I've found that it's best to investigate right away, while your memory is fresh. The seed site seed info
