If you see one of these seeds floating on the breeze, you're supposed to catch it before it hits the ground, make a wish and send it on its way again. Ever hear that?

You are welcome LandmarkExpert. :)

thanks chiefredearth!

Hi LandmarkExpert, I am sure about the ID. They are the seeds to be dispersed by wind.

Looks to me like a seedhead of some plant
