There’s lots of white, cottony bits of fluff floating around the park these days. All those seeds being carried by the wind.
This specimen beautifully illustrates both halves of the flowering cycle. On the left side the pods are still intact, a couple weeks ago all of these plants looked like the left half of this one. The right half shows the pods bursting open and releasing the seeds. On this visit more than half of the plants had already shed their seeds.
I love the delicate structure of Dandelions. This one has a nearly perfect oval symmetry.
