A report from "Blog" Buddy
Sarah Marine: "I was reminded of your
liking of
unicorns when I was roaming around the prairie dog fields with my biologist friend today. We came upon a strange hooked seed pod. He exclaimed that it was a unicorn plant. My friend says that the
buffalo step on the pod and it attaches to their foot. Then, as they buffalo along, the seeds fall out of the pod. The buffalo are unicorn plant
farmers! The pod was pretty sharp at the end, too." Sarah Marine also provides
a helpful "link" about the unicorn plant. The "link" says that the "unicorn plant is edible and may be
pickled like
cucumber or
okra."
