I hope to find one at the beach this summer, but I think I'll have to travel further south than New Jersey. The Gulf Stream will likely pick it up and carry it across the ocean before it reaches me.

Drift Seeds
Drift seeds are seeds that can survive for a long time at sea, floating slowly across the ocean to a new destination. Also, called seabeans, they travel for miles and years before washing ashore. One particular seed with which I share a name, Mary's Bean, travels further than any other. It only grows in Central America, but has been found as far away as Norway.
