Who can tell me what plant produces this seed pod?

It was on a dry vine on a fence in Galveston. Its form fascinated me so I collected seeds. Will it grow in Kansas?

Shirley said...: Thanks for that tip, Linda. I'm planting the seeds I gathered in Galveston. If it's Frostweed, the flowers will be gorgeous!; May 21, 2011 at 5:19 AM
