You can see the seeds right through their casing? Is that why it explodes, because it is so ephemeral? Are the curly parts the segments of two exploded seed pods, with one intact pod in the middle?

Really, it's making me hungry for snow peas or sumthin!

The curly parts are the segments of 1 seed pod exploded. There is no intact pod in the middle. You touch them & they explode. Water falls upon them & they explode. Wind makes them brush against a stem or bloom or leaf & they explode. An animal brushes against them & they explode. A bird lands in the plant & seed pods explode.
