Greenthread aka Hopi Tea seed head, Thelesperma spp.
West Odessa, Texas. Jan 13 2011
One of my goals has been to be able to identify winter forms of plants I love and know so well in summer. This particular dried seed head used to be a mystery to me. What an unusual structure don't you think? And no wonder I couldn't identify it; it looks unlike its summer self.

That certainly is a very nice photo of an interesting plant in wintertime.
This has to be the coolest seed pod ever! I think your goal is very admirable!
I'm with Bobbie! I love the winter dress so much more than the summer. It's really beautiful, as is your photo.
