seed head
Dandelion's fluffy top
A seed head is the part of a plant that holds mature seeds, typically forming after flowering.
Dandelions form fuzzy seed heads that scatter in the wind.
Gardeners may leave seed heads standing through winter to feed birds or add visual interest: The dried seed heads looked striking against the snow.
