Came across this cool video:

Very cool! Amazing to watch the explosions of seeds.

Thanks for posting it.

That is so cool!

Dave,
I've been hit in the eye when the Alstroemeria start popping but wow, look at that squirting cucumber! I might want to grow that just to watch the show.

You can put an impatiens pod in your palm and feel it explode - doing it outside, where you'd like impatiens to grow is the best place for the fun.

The seedpods of both Hogwort (Croton capitatus) and Tapioca Plant (Manihot esculenta) explode after being picked. I've had pods from the latter blow up in my office and they really go flying around the room. You could get hurt!

Good warning.

I, stupidly, put several pods in a saucer in the kitchen one night, many years ago. What a mess!

Thanks for sharing

I have collected touch-me not seeds and there is a technique one must use not to loose the seeds.

That squirting cucumber is so cool makes me want to grow one just to experience the show.

Like seed fireworks! Thanks for sharing! Love it!

Yep, sitting right here at the computer I was attacked by exploding seeds that were in a bowl on the shelf above me...Butterfly Pea Vine. Ouch!

Why do we always have to learn the hard way? LOL

Wow! very very cool.

There is a little weed here that I do not know the name of. But when you touch it when ripe the seeds explode every where. I get several in my eye every day this time of year. Not fun

Dave! Really amazing to watch this video, I like how the cucumber spits the seeds out the end.

That's an incredibly beautiful video!

LOL, I love to surprise people that have never experienced this... "here, just gently touch this thing"

But first put on these safety goggles!

My husband put an impatiens pod in my daughter's hand, outside, and she yelped when it exploded (just as I had done).

Just about everyone does that, if they don't know what's coming!

Nice video. Plants are amazing. I never get tired of seeing what plants can do.

I have to tie small net bags over some of my euphorbias flowers to save the seeds. Same with Jatropha podagrica. Dorstenia foetida expels their seeds quite a distance. I find them growing in a lot of my pots. I call them succulent weeds.

Very science-fiction-y video!

I like having it available right "in" the thread, not as a link.

Love this video and I agree with RickCorey, it's nice to have it embedded instead of having to click on a link. That cucumber with it's exploding seeds was really amazing!
