I had a hard time identifying this seedhead until a friend helped me. She found it right away. I think I was looking too hard. I found this seedhead quite fascinating. It only had a 2 inch stem and was almost hidden from view.

Yes, this is fascinating.
Good pic !
Skippy ~ I can imagine your studying this too hard....
How many hours ? Lol.
Glad you friend helped. :o)

Hywel, it is stiffer than the usual dandelion but falls apart just as easily. Ok, TT, probably spent 2 or 3 hours altogether but I sent the picture to a friend and she found it on her first try....should have let her do the searching in the first place...I agree with you, Janette, some seedheads are every bit as fascinating as the flowers.

Afterward, I looked very carefully and found 2 more but that is all....it's a weed...I'll probably find LOTS more next year (LOL)

Makes a facinating photo..............

Yes, it does...I would like to find another one and try to carefully pluck it and photograph it against a solid colored background to spotlight the pattern without the busy current background.....been looking...not finding another
