Catalpa seeds


Question
I have a catalpa seed pod and it is full of feather like bracts.
They do not appear to have any recognizable seeds.  Can you describe what the actual seeds look like please.
Thanks

Answer
Hi Joanne,
Thanx for your question.  I have a huge catalpa across the alley from me and it must be at least 150 years old.  Here are some links to pictures of the seed.  They don't look much like seeds until you look at them closely.

I hope this helps.
