These wonderful seed pods come from Aristolochia contorta, commonly known as northern pipevine, also known as birthwort.

The seed pods are like wonderful little upside down parachutes.   I harvest these and  spray paint them for fun natural pick in my holiday arrangements.   I've included some photos of the ones I spray painted, but the ones you are buying are not already painted.   These pods are fairly delicate and come in different shapes and sizes (as well as degrees of "openess").   I will pick the best of the ones I have for you, but they will not all be the same.   Some come with the vines attached, some not.
