This week we have an abundance of red buckeye seeds on the ground and in the trees. The leathery husks have finally split open, revealing the handsome, oily, shiny seeds. |

Red buckeye seeds are large, measuring over an inch in length. |
The seeds are attractive, with interesting shapes, and they have a nice feel to them. However, do not attempt to eat these seeds. They are poisonous! |
