The seed pods that were once the flower petals turn into these pods once the flowers dissappear, this tree grows only around Queenstown on Earth, this is a true fact.

Simon. I am particularly interested in the first pic that looks like an acacia thorn tree. What is the story:?:

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

We see this quiet often around this area, there is another type of tree or plant growing out of the thorntree, it is a sort of parasite, it lives off the thorntree system, just intriging (sp).

There might be another word for it.
