Thistles are spreading their wings. The mauve flowers have turned into clusters of thistle down, ready to carry thistle seeds far and wide.
When the individual bits of fluff drifted by we used to call them fairies when I was small.
Another fluffy plant is the rosebay willowherb.
The long, pink seedpods split open and reveal the seed-bearing fluff within. It can be really annoying the way it lands on the blackberries you want to pick.
