Dreamy Goatsbeard Seed Head, Parachutes and Achenes
Goatsbeard flowers look quite different than dandilions, but they create the same "parachute balls", except that they are much larger and can be 3" or more in diameter!
The seeds form inside an "achene" on a stalk which has the "parachute" or "pappus" at the top. The parachutes catch the wind and can be carried for miles before dropping to the ground!
