Ripe balsam seeds are spring loaded, and are dispersed by being flung out of the seed pods when a passing animal or human brushes against the pods.
The pods hang from the tree in the shape of an inverted V. They start out green, then brown and split open in the spring. Numerous wing type seeds inside.
It isn't possible for pods to form without the plant having at some time bloomed. The pods are formed from the flower. The plant should bloom in late spring or mid summer for about three weeks. What may be possible is that the pods are from another year and the plant has now failed to flower. This can happen if the soil is too rich, especially in nitrogen. Another possibility is that the petal parts have been eaten by some pest, but the lower parts of the flower were not and so went on to produce the pods.
Perhaps you are speaking of the mimosa tree. It has delicate pink tendril like flowers and pole bean pods in the fall with seeds in them.
Bluebonnets start to flower in the early spring months. Then when it starts to become summer, the flowers die, leaving hard seed pods. These pods grow into next yearâ??s flowers.
