Dry seeds of split bluestem grass (feather beardgrass, Andropogon ternarius) on Richards Loop Trail in Sam Houston National Forest. Texas, January 21, 2024



The image showcases two dry seed pods from a Split Bluestem Grass plant against a dark background. The seed pods are long and slender, tapering toward their bases. They have tan-colored stems and are adorned with white hairs, giving them a feather-like appearance.

The seeds themselves are small, light brown in color, and attached to the inside of the pod. Each seed is about 1/8 inch (3 mm) in length.

In the background, there appears to be another plant or part of the same plant in the upper right corner, but it is not entirely visible due to the cropping of the image. The overall atmosphere suggests that the photo was taken during the winter season when the leaves have dropped off the plants. – AI vision
