Seed pods on plant.
Texas native flower that grows in all regions of the state.
First bloom on this young plant.
This is the seed contained inside the claw. The claws split, but you still have to pry open some of the pod lining to get all of the seeds
JJsgarden and Windy's pictures are great, I just wanted to add this one with a reference. These are large seeds!

Devil's Claw
Has been reseeding itself politely in my garden for almost 20 years. Never invasive for me. Smells incredible to me. VERY sticky. Tolerates wet feet or no water at all.
Showing the sticky dew on the buds.
Sticky dew on the leaves.
Seed pods from last year.
