I photographed the above seeds today, on 10 July 2017. It's most unusual to be seeing seeds spilling out of seed pods at this time of the year.
I have no answers as to why, other than perhaps the winter has been milder than I felt it had been.
Having said that, people are telling me they still have monarch caterpillars on some of their swan plants, so it does appear to be a most unseasonal winter this time.
