🐾 How many buttons in this ballistic mattress???

🔘 Dorstenia bahiensis - Mattress Button Plant: this plant is a real Nature's Wonder! The fun part is the "mattress" where the seed "buttons" grow.

🚀 The plant has strange looking receptacles. At maturity, seeds shoot ballistically from the mature flower/fruit heads, and they germinate readily whenever the land on soil or other moist substrate.
