Dandelion

Nimbus on the stalk,
Adorned by white...wavy seeds;
Peeled off by the wind.

Whenever I think of dandelions, I always remember chasing the seeds as a child, and carrying them so carefully so as not to knock the 'fluff' off. Kat x

I can't stand them however they have a soft spot in my heart as well. They are usually some of the first flowers kids pick for their moms. If you can separate them from their seed capabilities they are quite a happy sort of flower and the the white globes aren't bad either. Your title drew me in
