A Soft Ball Of Fluff
In a world full of beautiful things, I still find myself drawn to the lovely dandelion plant. The transformations it goes through are quite glorious. My favorite part of the life cycle is when the plant gets ready to distribute its seeds with the world. The seeds, technically a fruit called a 'cypselae' are produced on the flower stalk with each seed representing one of the florets in the flower head. Each has a pappus, a set of feathery bristles that act as parachute ensuring distribution.
