Hibiscus: Hibiscus Seeds pods are fascinating in my opinion, 4 by kljflower

Having such a strange summer with my hibiscus - I posted earlier about chipmunks eating the seeds and I think birds might be too. When I started looking around to take pics of seed pods - there don't seem to be as many as usual. In Ohio, we had a very early spring followed by an intensely hot and dry summer. So that may be a factor along with the fact that I have no sunflowers this year for the critters to be munching. I've had sunflowers for many years that have self-sowed but I think the chipmunk herd may have devoured the seeds. I know we usually ooh and aah over the flowers, but I think that one of the cool things about hibiscus is that they are interesting in their different phases. My family and friend are getting weary of me rambling on about hibiscus - so I thought if anyone was interested, it would be this forum.
