OK. OK.
I admit it! You are right. I am wrong. They are indeed fireweed seed pods.
So, thank you for improving my feeble mind.
Of course, I could always adopt my father's line. If I caught him in in error,
he'd proclaim "Well, you're right, and I'm wrong ... like you usually are"!
Thanks again. :-)
David.
Look at this link and scroll down to the photo of the tangled seed pods.
Do you have a better photo?

Here is a google search of fireweed seed pods. Poke around. The more I
look the more convinced I am.

It's not fireweed, Aram. Of that I'm sure. Fireweed is the official-- Aram Langhans (Semi) Retired Science Teacher & Unemployed

We do get fireweed around here, though not that much of it. Any other
ideas? David. > Looks like it might be Fireweed (Epilobium
angustifolium), a very lovely flower despite its name. I am sure you
have seen its brilliant red flowers many times. So, call it what you
want. Aram On 10/6/2022 8:27:37, David wrote: > Friday Flower? Or

found it on a walk around nearby Ware Lake.
