Hint:Â These may superficially resemble the seed from two weeks ago, but they are not closely related.
So, what kind of plant do these seeds come from?
Edit:Â The answer is now up.
Category: Seed of the Week (Page 163 of 167)
I’m surprised there were no guesses for mystery seed of the week, because it is a plant found throughout the world.
Dandelion flowers are popular with insects. Can you spot a glimpse of an insect in this photo?
Although we think of the above structure as a single flower, it is actually a bunch of tiny flowers, leading to a cluster of seeds. Each seed has its own parachute.
If you look closely, you can see numerous interesting hooks or barbs on the seeds.
I have heard that the name dandelion comes from French, dent de lion, and means lion’s teeth. The name refers to the sharply cut, jagged edges of the leaves.
What do you think of dandelions?
Have you looked closely at these seeds? What plant are they from?
Note:Â Because I lost the post from Tuesday, I’m changing the mystery seed so I can add it to the Life Photo Meme offered Thursdays at Adventures of a Free Range Urban Primate blog. The theme for the meme this week is gossamer. I’ll re-post the lost photo next Tuesday.
Edit: The answer is now up here.
