DANDELION SEEDING
The white floaties originate from a densely packed seed head that resembles a fuzzy ball.
If you look closely, each seed head has dozens of umbrella-like extensions. Located at the seed head's center are the seeds
each seed has this umbrella structure attached to them. The umbrella's canopy consists of hairs formed much like a chimney sweep brush.
Combining both a tall stem and airy seed head, dandelions keep their seeds upright and available to wind vectors for successful distribution in the region.
