Dandelion seed heads look so fluffy and soft!
But over time the wind blows those seed-parachutes away and you can see where the seeds were attached. They look sort of like golf balls to me - and when you look more closely at the seeds, you begin to notice the different textures. I used a clip-on macro lens for my smartphone, but you can see a great amount of detail with a hand lens.
This week get up-close and personal with dandelions.
What do you discover?
I love dandelions so much! Did you know they are named for the French "dent de lion"? For the jagged edges on the leaf.
