Royal Weed Dressed for the Opera!

[best appreciated at full size against black]

I found this dried up dandilion (or similar type flower) down by our front gate and loved its fuzzy, fashionable appearance! To me, it looks like it has very fancy hair, fluffy fur shoulders, a stylish 18th century ruffle around its neck, and has its "hand" posed on its hip as if to say, "Yes, I AM that cool! And now, I am ready for a night on the town"! :D
