it's so rare that I have a bridge to sell you, and I'll take that as payment in full!

You mean this? Very rare. It took me a travel around my garden to find one! 😁 But you know how they say, to have luck must have four πŸ˜‹By the way, mine is from an Acer tree.

Frankly, that's how I feel when trying to be a decent human in this world run by an overwhelmingly large number of incredibly shitty people. Maybe he wasn't the crazy one. Or maybe I am... *sigh*

Woah... Oh my god... Triple windmill!!

The samara? They grow on maple trees. They're very common here in northern Europe. I have a feeling I'm missing a point.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's mutates or from a variation I've never seen given that it's three near complete helicopters instead of individuals.

[–] residentoflaniakea@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I can't make it out but is that what the picture is showing? Is so, then it's a really cool find!

it is indeed a triplet. took it home :D

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yes. It's a maple helicopter but a mutant one that grew three of everything but didn't divide at the end.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

The one in the picture has three lobes. They usually just grow with two.
