African tulip tree Spathodea campanulata

Yes they do look like seed pods ...

Klahanie:

It's an African Tulip tree flower spike, not seed pod! lol! :>) The seed pods are about 8 in long and are 1 in wide.

My tree still has some flowers spikes on it.

Ahh, learn something every day. Thank you Delonix1

Here's a pic of some seed pods.

I have seen these around as well.

Yes, I'm sure you have, as they stick out at the tips of the branches. :>
