Hairy cat's ear
A plague in my lawn, a pest on the dunes. But still beautiful.

Not a cuke
I give up. I can't identify this plant. Can you?
These were growing out of a mass of thistles mixed with several other plants beside a lagoon in Reifel Island Migratory Bird Sanctuary. They look like small cucumbers, but grow from a stiff stalk, not a vine. I thought they might be day lily pods, but they hang down, instead of standing upright on the stalk. And they're bigger than any lily pods I've seen.
No leaves were visible among the thistles, and I couldn't reach them to dig through and find the base of the plants.
What do you think?
(Google daily mix-up: why, when I Google "lily pods", do I get a photo of the rear end of a zebra?)
