milkweed - part 9

with the promise of an even larger crop of plants next year.

each downy puff feel likes like a bit of silk.

I love these pics! When I was scrolling down, the first pic looked like the tip of a unicorn horn, until I could see the rest of the pic, that is what I thought first. they look so soft, I wonder if they could be used for felting...or sandwiching between silks. they'd probably make you itch.
