the one below is a erodium cicutarium seed but a lot of erodiums and some geraniums too use this "method"
absolutely amazing...a "winning" evolution

We grow E.manescavi and have managed to get the seeds to germinate, but strangely despite it throwing the seeds all over the place we have never had self sown ones. The more alpine type Erodiums, E. guttatum etc. do self seed around for us.
My favourite is e. chrysanthum, the yellow form.
