Although regarded as a weed, and the seeds as a nuisance as they spread and multiply the dandelion flowers, the seed head of the dandelion is a quite remarkable and attractive structure, best revealed when the seeds have been partly dispersed.
Although not welcome in a formal garden, I rather like to see the cheerful yellow colour of dandelions, and as they become seeds watching children blowing them and counting the blows to see what time it is. Another lovely childhood memory!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Lots of dandelion seed heads to be seen at the moment, as spring moves on.

Thank you both, I find the structure of these seed heads quite fascinating.
