Description
The seeds are ready to fly to new places of growth. Tragopogon pratensis (common names Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon, meadow salsify, showy goat's-beard or meadow goat's-beard) is a biennial plant in the Asteraceae family, distributed across Europe and North America, commonly growing in fields (hence its name) and on roadsides. It is found in North America from southern Ontario to Massachusetts; most of England; on the eastern and southern edges of Scotland; and central Ireland but not the coastal edges. The flower heads are 5 cm wide. They only open in the morning sunshine, hence the name 'Jack go to bed at noon'.
The achenes are rough, long beaked pappus radiating outwards interwoven like a spider's web of fine white side hairs (referred to as a "Blowball").

revisiting and I still love it, Veikko. Even the background you obviously created, is warm and beautiful and the perfect setting for these delicate seeds.

oh what a wonderful soft and translucent piece of art, Veikko. You must have worked like crazy to extract the delicate flowers. I love the vibrant background, it really shows off the delicate flowers.
