When I went into the Club House (or is it Clubhouse?) in Wanganui on Sunday there was a bowl on the table filled with funny green things that I took to be fruits.  When I picked one up it was almost as light as air and appeared to be empty.  I had never seen one before.  They are, apparently, 
Gomphocarpus fruticosus or Swan Plant.  They are a member of the Milkweed genus.  They are a host to the Monarch Butterfly caterpillars.
 
But what do you do with them - apart from admire them?
