Unknown seed

At the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, you can always find something unusual.  I went into see the Amazon water lily, and found instead this fantastic seed head hanging from a plant that is unknown to me (and I couldn't find the label).

It looks to me just like the leg and foot of some T-Rex-type dinosaur!  You can see the flowering part of the plant in the background.

Dandelion seed head

I found this perfect dandelion seed head before any dispersal of the seeds; how lovely weeds can be!
