No that's what I thought initially, it's similar but this is something else Title: Re: White floaty thing Post by: kinboshi on January 20, 2009, 05:10:32 AM Tragopogon dubius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Salsify)
Title: Re: White floaty thing Post by: WarBwastard on January 20, 2009, 07:12:53 AM Tragopogon dubius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Salsify) I think that's the same as a dandelion ain't it? This thing is something you see in the summer, they're about the size of a golf ball and they float about..I used to catch them as a nipper cause my mum told me they were angels. I was a gullible fool I know. They're not the same as those seed things cause they have no steams. They're weird floaty nameless bast*rds.
