Jewelweeds are orange flowering plants that grow pods. If you squeeze the pods they burst open and shoot seeds. I like squeezing pods so they burst open. I like it because it feels cool. Also I found the plants further down on the path. Also another name for Jewelweed is Touch-me-not.
That is a beautiful picture and I like your information about the exploding pods but are they edible??
Cool plant. The Jewel weeds are my favorite plant on the trail.
That’s so cool! When I was in 3rd grade I had to paint the Jewel Weed on my rock for art. I love it when the pods explode its so, so cool! Have fun in he rest of 4th grade and continue on the nature walk!
Thanks for telling me some information that I didn’t know!
