Hitchhikers: thorn and bur seeds in macro photography by Dillon Marsh

Cape Town-based artist Dillon Marsh has created an amazing series of South African thorn and bur seeds in macro photography that reveals their almost imperceptible details.

Seeds in the form of thorns and burs are familiar features of the tall grass or underbrush of South African landscapes. Some bear hooks and barbs designed to latch onto the fur or fleece of passing animals, while others grow sharp spikes intended to pierce hooves and feet. This allows them to spread to new areas, even crossing to other continents, earning them the collective name ‘hitchhiker plants’. Macro photography reveals the often unnoticed details of these intricate seeds.
