@annied This was a cheat Annie - they were suspended from the seedhead about to blow away and the background is a sky blue vase ... sorry to shatter any illusions! Felicity
@ingajohansson I was about to throw the dandelion head away (I'd photographed it earlier in the week) and as I moved it, some of the seeds dislodged but were still attached to the 'mother' plant by the little parachutes. The draught from the door caused them to sway gently against the vase the dandelion was in which extremely luckily was sky blue - sorry if I've disappointed you!
