Have you ever come across something unusual in your garden and had no idea what it was at first glance? That’s exactly what happened to us at a friend’s home one otherwise ordinary afternoon. Between two flowerbeds, a curious detail caught our attention: tiny, round shapes nestled in the damp soil, arranged as if in little forgotten nests… But what could they be?
Seeds, or something stranger?
At first, we guessed they might be seeds dropped by accident or perhaps tiny insect eggs. Drawn in by their odd, almost too-perfect symmetry, we leaned closer with a camera to examine these miniature “bowls.” Nothing we imagined seemed quite right. So we turned to my friend’s grandfather, a passionate gardener, hoping he could unravel the mystery.
Grandfather knows best
