I'll try to do something with these magnolia pods tomorrow. Today, because I don't have time to fiddle with them, my only lesson is that some magnolia seed pods are already  spilling their shiny red seeds, but mine aren't. I needed some pods with spilling seeds for a demonstration tomorrow, and I had to go to a neighbor's yard to get them, because mine aren't that ripe yet.  I put them in containers on the windowsill, hoping they'd miraculously double as windowsill arrangements, but they didn't.  And trying to rearrange them made their seeds start falling off.  Not good.   So: I'll try to find a more satisfying way to display magnolia pods in the windowsill tomorrow.
