this reminds me of a weed that grew everywhere where i grew up, in the Philippines. the seed container for this weed was brown & kinda hard & would explode if exposed to water, dispersing the seeds inside of it. i always liked playing with it by collecting as many of these seed containers as i could carry, find a puddle of water, throw them in & enjoy the explody fun. sometimes one of them would explode in my hand, especially if it was a bit sweaty from runnning around trying to collect these things. i never knew what that weed was called & now i'm feeling abit nostalgic for such simple times.

[@SlinkyStoney]

Yup, I remember those but don't know what it was called. I used to see them everywhere like those times when I go to school walking and collect them.

We have a plant, called gyvel in Danish (can't seem to translate that to English through Google), which have bright yellow flowers and grows small toxic pea pods. The pods dries out as the seeds mature, building up pressure until they explode with a snap, tossing all the seeds a few meters. They are very hard to get rid of, as the seeds will take years to start grow a new plant.
