seed heads
Dandelion's fluffy tops
Seed heads are the dried, seed-bearing structures that remain on plants after flowering.
They appear on grasses, wildflowers, and garden plants when blooms fade and seeds develop: The dandelion seed heads scattered in the wind.
Gardeners sometimes leave seed heads standing through winter for visual interest and to feed birds.
