Corkscrews

 
Tiny rootlets are starting to emerge from hickory nuts and acorns.  I found a half of a buckeye hull that was lined with filiments.  I would like to watch the whole process of an acorn rootlet corkscrewing itself out of its cracked shell and into the earth.  (My friend A brought me this corkscrewing hot pepper from her garden.)
