seedheads
Dandelion's fluffy tops
Seedheads are the dried flower heads of plants after they've gone to seed.
Gardeners may leave seedheads standing through winter for visual interest or to feed birds: The coneflower seedheads looked striking against the snow.
In lawn care, seedheads on grass are often considered unsightly, prompting mowing.
