I was able to capture a dandelion seed, also know as a “cypselae”. Packed with it’s own pappus among the forget-me-nots. “The seeds, technically a fruit called a "cypselae” are produced on the flower stalk with each seed representing one of the florets in the flower head. Each has a pappus, a set of feathery bristles that act as a sail or parachute ensuring distribution of the seed by the wind.“ I got a few chuckles learning about dandelions in this article. A must read. http://www.naturenorth.com/summer/dandelion/Dandelion2.html
