ジャノヒゲが種子をつけています。細い葉に隠れて、あまり目立ちませんが、きれいな瑠璃色の種子です。果実のように見えますが、果皮は早い段階で失われ、種子がむき出しになっています。

"Janohige (ジャノヒゲ)" plants are bearing their seeds. Their seeds are very beautiful ultramarine blue, though, in this picture, they don’t stand out very much behind narrow leaves. The seeds look like fruit, but their fruit skin disappears in the early stage of their growth, followed by the explosion of the seeds.
