dandelion puff
Fluffy seed sphere
A dandelion puff is the spherical seed head of a dandelion after it flowers—a globe of white, feathery seeds attached to a central stem.
Children blow on them to scatter the seeds and make wishes.
The delicate structure has become a symbol of fragility, transience, and childhood whimsy: She made a wish and blew the dandelion puff into the wind.
