    I had fun running around after the seeds this morning. I'm tired :D
    As you can see they have soft white fluff it blows the seeds away.
    This is the first year I got some. Last year bugs and wind took them.

    Hey, Gizmo, what plant are they from?

    My first thought from your topic title was that your kids were blowing the dandelion fluff balls. My grandson loves to do that.

    :D :D The heading should have read to the affect of silk not fluff. So soft I wish I had enough for a pillow. They are from my scarlet milkweed. The strange thing is a friend I gave a plant to showed me his. I've been wondering for a while how to make more so it can go all the way around the pool. I just got the fluff off and its blowing all over the kitchen. Well, worth the mess the cats like it.
