Trees are very useful. They provide beauty, protection and shade. They produce beautiful flowers and sometimes fruit. One thing they always take care of is to provide for the future. Somehow trees know that they will not last forever, so every year they produce hundreds or even thousands of future possibilities. Here is a close view of a Mimosa tree - the same one whose flower was featured earlier - and a clump of seed pods. When the time is right, this tidy weather-proof package, will drop to the ground and hopefully as seed or two will find cover and take root.
