ABOUT THIS SPECIES:
+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

This species is a favourite of mine - Sophora tomentosa - adopted into my Homage to the Seed project as a recurring motif in 2010 - is listed as an endangered species in Northern NSW yet not as yet in S.E.Qld where I live.

Varied manifestations of this form occur in nature… in various plant species including marine plants. It’s one of those forms that have found their way into visual culture across Millennia. Whenever there’s been a class in my studio it’s one of those seedpods that will be left on the table at the end of the day having served as inspiration for ink drawing or a layered seed motif painting. When new they are slightly grey yellowy green with a light furry surface … the first two photos show an ages brown seedpod… I find them appealing - new or old!

WIKI: Sophora tomentosa, also known as necklacepod, yellow necklacepod, and occasionally as silver bush, is a pantropical shrub or small tree in the family Fabaceae. It commonly ranges in height from 4 to 10 feet and often occurs in coastal conditions and near wetlands. The common name Necklacepod is derived from the characteristic string of seed pods that develop after its yellow flowers germinate into seeds.
