Whenever I walk the beaches on Oronsay, I keep my eye out for sea-beans. Also known as drift-seeds, sea-beans are seeds or fruits that have been carried out to sea after falling from trees or vines which grow along tropical shores. I love imagining where this one could have come across the ocean from. Somewhere a lot warmer that's for sure. Jamaica perhaps? Sea-beans often float due to an internal air pocket within the seed. So pleased to finally find one!
