The Living Forest (208) : Seed

Every year in autumn, the last stage in the life of a Welted Thistle produces beautiful structures.

After flowering is finished and before dying, plants produce a lot of seeds to secure the next generation of its species.
Those seeds can be carried long distances by the wind.

Dutch name : Kruldistel
German name : Krause Distel
Latin name : Carduus crispus

the thistle - beautiful in all its stages, and the soft seed ball not easy to photograph so well ... a fine macro capture, and I like the balance with the patch of soft yellow to the right !!
greetings, Adele

Some of its seeds seem to
come off the screen right into
my eyes.
Lovely shot.
Best wishes - A.

Wunderschön und in feinstem Licht hast Du diese Samenstände aufgenommen! Die feinen Samenhaare glänzen so wundervoll in dem Licht und wirken wie feinste SEide!

LG!

here it is! finally! the thistle that carries my name! and rightfully so, as i'm wearing the exact same haircut, since my hairstylist quit and went back to school last year… ; )) don't you worry, thistle, i'm just kidding. on you it looks wispily lovely! the sofness of the seeds obviously belies the prickly defensiveness of the rest of the plant! great composition, by the way, with the cluster of yellow blossoms in the blurry back! greetings, sabine.
