Is it a praying mantis egg pod? Looks like one to me.

 

its definately of the plant world :-D

 

With the seam seen, and some flesh around the seed, wonder if it is in the pomegranite or rose family, and the casing has popped off now. Been looking, have not seen anything like it so far.

 

It looks like a member of the Allium family...perhaps a leek.

 

I think it is the inside of a Chinese Lantern seed pod. Or a Nicandra seed pod.

 

A daisy with the petals plucked, "he loves me, loves me not" ??????

 

Poppy seed pod?

 

some interesting answers guys, but it looks like netty wins i thought that would of had people guessing for a bit longer. i obviously underestimated how much you guys know, which is alot. its a seed pod from the shoo fly plant or Nicandra physalodes . . . collected a few pods so i could try the seeds in spring. it usually has a protective skin if you like round the seeds, but my curiosity got the better of me and i sat there pain-stakingly peeling it away. :-D

 

haha
I've taken the skin off a few as well, I guess that is why I knew what it was

 

Netty, your vast store of botanical information is amazing! You deserve that seed Lukey gave. Congratulations .

 

Well done Netty!.

 

Well done Netty, that certainly foxed me
