    Just return from a holiday in the Canary Islands and I picked up three seeds - can anyone help with their identification - I have tried to now avail.

    1.Large very woody seed pod about 10 - 12 inches in length (this one is broken in half)
    2. Fairly delicate about 8 to 10 inches in legth
    3. Small greeen 'hairy' seed pod with 2 to three seeds about 1/2" to 3/4" in size.
