When I saw that seeds immediately remind me about a spotting I have, same genus, different species. Great!

I love this stuff. We used to tear it apart and send the seeds out into the air when we were kids.

This is a type of milkweed (asclepias) seed pod. If you had a picture of the leaves, I could probably give you a better idea as to which type.
