Nature has a way of making small things feel magical. Things that feel simple take on a whole new depth when inspected with any sort of depth. Nature is not stingy with its secrets. It will happily let you into its world, assuming you slow down enough to look closely.
One example of the magic of nature is how seeds move and work and grow, this can be seen in the beauty of Lantern Seeds.
The shining example of magical seeds is the Erodium Seed.
This seed reacts to the moisture in its environment, and by twirling up tightly and loosening back up over and over, it slowly works itself into the soil beneath it. In this way, the Erodium Seed can plant itself. That’s pretty magical!
Interested in learning more about how people are using the Erodium seed to inspire the creation of self-planting seeds that could be used to more easily reforest areas, plants fields, etc.
