The Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata) snared me today on the midday walk. Of course, no bright yellow flower at this time of year. Still a skeleton offers something as well.

Stopping to really look at the pods!
Separate compartments!

Quite hairy on the outside.

Another!

Leaves!

If I had not stopped to examine the Partridge Pea plant closely, I would have missed the eggs.

No clue to what bug they belong too. However, it looked like most had hatched!

  1. I love the egg casings. Tiny cups. And the image of the lizard in the rock. How cool that they can do that. Love that you find beauty everywhere. Be wonderful if everyone did.

  2. Nice study of partridge pea. It plays an important pioneer role for nitrogen cycling but I think it gets overlooked because it’s an annual. Thanks for showing it some love! Very interesting lizard fossil article too. It’s amazing what can be done with various types of scans.
