I’m not really sure what caused that look, other than the rain, of course. There was one right next to it though that didn’t look like this at all.

After all of the years that I’ve lived here, today I came across a wildflower that I’ve never seen before, a Russethair saxifrage, Saxifraga ferruginea.

For what some consider a weed, dandelions sure have a variety of beautiful sides during their life cycle.
I saw some like this last week after it rained and I had to stop and take a look (no camera) … love the symmetry.

There are lots of them too, and they lead very public lives. I much prefer them though out in the country.

Thanks Bill. It was very striking when I saw it and more so when the lens revealed the details.

Can you believe I didn’t recognize what it was? The flowerhead looks pretty this way.

At first glance I didn’t think it was a Dandelion either.

Your unusual photo makes me hate them just a bit less. 😉
Though all those brown things at the center have the potential to be another “weed” next year, if not sooner!

I think it’s only when they invade the areas that we cultivate that they out-stay their welcome. I find the ones along the streams are very attractive.

It is interesting how one seed head will do that and others won’t-I’ve noticed that too. Great photo-I can’t seem to get one that I’m satisfied enough with to post.

I know the rain was a factor, but there was another within inches of this that looked entirely different.

Lots of them are gone here too, but others are still blooming, and they will bloom at the higher elevations here until the snow comes.

It looks like a dandelion, and yet it doesn’t. Isn’t it funny, that we don’t think of plants capable of the kind of individuality which we possess – but why not? Perhaps this one just wanted to stand out a bit!

I’m still not sure what cause this look. At first I thought that perhaps the top part of the dome had already blown away, but nearly all of the seeds at the center still seem to be there. I guess I’ll just take it for what it is; pretty.

Great photo! Seed heads are wonderful, aren’t they! I’ve taken lots of photos of them in the winter when they are decorated with snow flakes. My favourite seed heads are the ones in the daisy and poppy families.
