Dave,
I've been hit in the eye when the Alstroemeria start popping but wow, look at that squirting cucumber! I might want to grow that just to watch the show.

There is a little weed here that I do not know the name of. But when you touch it when ripe the seeds explode every where. I get several in my eye every day this time of year. Not fun

That's an incredibly beautiful video!

LOL, I love to surprise people that have never experienced this... "here, just gently touch this thing"

Nice video. Plants are amazing. I never get tired of seeing what plants can do.
I have to tie small net bags over some of my euphorbias flowers to save the seeds. Same with Jatropha podagrica. Dorstenia foetida expels their seeds quite a distance. I find them growing in a lot of my pots. I call them succulent weeds.
Love this video and I agree with RickCorey, it's nice to have it embedded instead of having to click on a link. That cucumber with it's exploding seeds was really amazing!
