Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. After the bloom, this large seed pod forms, later to open and disperse. This was one of many of a huge tree, easily over one hundred years of age, on the grounds of Bassett Hall, the colonial-era house that the Rockefellers used when in Williamsburg. The Rockefellers were major benefactors, instrumental in the development of the restoration / recreation of buildings in Colonial Williamsburg, spending over $60 million.
