THE MIRACLE IN THE SEED

Dry fruits with multiple seeds are very diverse, taking many
forms such as pods, bladders, grained etc. A few examples include:
Montbretia, with round, bright orange seeds packed into triple
capsules. The plant waits for the wind or a passing animal to shake it
to distribute its seeds. 9
The leguminous plants
The seeds of the Montbretia plant form a very broad category,
shown below are dispersed by the
wind, though animals also help in within which each species has
their distribution. its own distinct shape and fe-
atures. Seeds of the pea plant,
for instance, are arranged in an
orderly row. On the other
hand, Colutea arborescens has
air-filled bladders that burst
noisily. The most incredible of
these plants is the catclaw or
black mimosa (Mimosa pigra)
with its pods, each one of
which contains a seed and is
shaped like a hairy claw. 10
These are just a few

The seeds of the pea plant are
arranged in tidy rows and pro-
tected in special little pods.
Wherever in the world
they grow, all peas have
the same perfect order,
wonderful color and
taste, due to the in-
formation in-
stalled in them
by God.
