[Mary Tjeerdsma]

Instant FAV! Is the silky white coming out of the flower or a separate flower? Brilliant photo but could you let me know if this is two subjects or one? This will make the top 20!!!!

[Denise]

@marytj Thank you for the kind comments Mary. This tiny seed was definitely from another plant of some type. I'm not even sure what the flower is because I found this in the prairie section of my local arboretum. I found this walking through the grasses and native plants. To get the sky, I laid on the ground and shot up at the flower.
