Sometimes we see weeds, sometimes we see wishes.
Have you ever gently plucked one of these fluffy seed heads from the ground and helped reseed it by blowing it's feathery seeds into the air and making a wish?
These are called 'yellow goat's beard' wild flowers. They first emerge with a soft yellow dandeline-type flower on a tall stem. After the flower fades a seed head like this is left behind.
Sometimes they show in places we don't want weeds, like our yards, gardens and landscaping. In which we usually pick them and discard them before the seeds have a chance to fly away. Sometimes we'll come across them along the road or on a nature walk and it's hard to resist the chance to help reseed them and make a wish. Isn't it?
