Correct me if I'm wrong.

These are little baby conkers - I think.

I have never noticed this before and I can't remember ever being told. These conkers seem to have evolved from the not so long ago white like candle flowers.

I am going to watch these little baby conkers to see if they continue to grow and flourish into big adult conkers.

If I'm wrong and they aren't conkers then where do conkers come from?
