There is this plant i need help identifying. It would also be useful to know it's properties. Thanks.
It looks like the seed pod of a Magnolia. http://images.google.com/images?q=m...1I7SUNA_en-GB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi
The Picasa page does not show me anything with my settings. Seed cones are often seen on Magnolia grandiflora and M. x soulangiana in this area. Both are planted frequently.
