The Dandiest of Lions



These microphotos show one seed "parachute" from a dandelion, or blow flower. I've shot dandelions like this before while in Canada, here. Though the previous dandelion appears to be a bit different from this one.

Note in the last photo of this series how the seeds attach to the center of the parachute bell by way of a long thin arm, whereas the other dandelion's seeds seem to extend a stylish fin from their parachutes to their flower center.






Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
