Glowing Goatsbeard Parachutes (Pappus)

Glowing Goatsbeard Parachutes (Pappus)
These glowing, golden parachutes (pappus) are specially modified parts of a flower called "sepals." They are able to catch the lightest breeze and lift up into the air, carrying the seed as far as a mile or more away from the parent plant! No wonder we find dandilions (and goatsbeard) everywhere! :D

Explored on June 28. Highest position, page 2 (#50).
