High-speed footage of the seeds of a dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) being blown off the plant. Each seed is contained within a tiny fruit attached to a feathery head called a pappus, which facilitates its distribution by the wind. The dandelion is a common plant in temperate regions worldwide. Most of its fruits are produced asexually, without pollination, by a process called apomixis. | |
