A neighbour gave me some seed heads of a plant but I don't know what it is! Can anyone help, please? It grows wild on Scottish mountains; is low growing with silvery green leaves; has a white flower with 5 (?) petals; seed head resembles a dandelion clock. Thanks!

How about Dryas octapetala? Though that has 8 petals.
