When I first saw these....
I had no idea what they were.
So, after a little sleuthing, I discovered they were bladdernuts.
The American Bladdernut is a large shrub or small tree with leaves in clusters of three.
The seed capsules are papery, three sided airfilled pods.
They remind me of chinese lanterns.
Small seed are inside the pods.
I wonder if they grow in Georgia. I must look this tree up. Your photos really help.
