Definition
A genus of flowering plants known as balloonbush, with inflated seed pods that look like tiny balloons.
Etymology
From Greek gomph- (bolt or nail—referring to the stem structure) plus carpos (fruit), literally 'bolt fruit.' The genus now includes plants formerly in Asclepias family.
Kelly Says
Gomphocarpus seeds disperse by wind in those papery balloon pods—it's nature's own engineering marvel, and gardeners love it because you can pop the balloons to collect seeds like edible popcorn!
