We have no idea what you may have called them in your childhood but the OFM’s neighborhood called them Puff Balls.  When you pick it and hold it up in front of your mouth, a strong breath would send the airborne seeds frolicking all over the place. The OFM was so simple minded back then that a great afternoon could be had blowing seeds around the front yard.

Here is the puff ball growing next to Flint Creek.

Since we thought the ball was so pretty that we enlarged the photo to show some of the puff ball details.

As you can see the OFM is still simple minded enough to really enjoy the puff ball respite from the long walk as we meandered the banks of Flint Creek searching for tooooo much fun.
