I found this dandilion head in my backyard today having somehow survived yesterday's mowing and the wind with all seeds intact. The head of the flower must have been cut off and then puffed out into this overnight. I thought that I'd take the opportunity to photograph it in a controlled environment and prevent the seeds from spreading out over my already over-run backyard lawn. I was happy with how the photos turned out so I thought that I'd share the best of them with everyone.
