The seeds must have an unbreakable way of keeping tabs. Perhaps a cockleburr phased array could be used for faster-than-light communication. This'll be useful when we finally reach for the stars.

The cockleburrs we had contained three seeds per pod. Dozens of pods per plant. The seeds would only germinate when things were just right. Seed 1 germinated on the first year. If it was too wet it waited a year. Seed 2 would germinate the second time conditions were right and seed 3.......

When discing in the bottoms if the tractor started losing traction I would raise the disc and look for cockleburr as it grew on the driest ground.
