Here's my very first puzzle, and I don't expect it to be difficult. The only clue you will get is that it is very close-up.

Lesley,

They look a bit like Eranthis seedpods, but no collar.

Lesley,

Is it one of the mosses or associated ilk?  I can picture something, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Also looks a bit like a star anise, but that wouldn't be particularly in closeup.  ;D
