It looks like lots of Dandelion heads all blown together, as they appear to upside down.

Tis true Rolf but how on earth did they manage to get so symetrical and are the ones away from the plant coming or going

That's what I thought, I thought they looked like what we used to call sugars when we were kids and the shape is ever so freaky but nice

It's beautiful. I reckon it's not a dandelion. Probably the outercovering broke from the bottom rather from the top and thus it all looks updsaide down. Ain't nature wonderful?

Nice find, Digidark.

Could be a collection of thistle seeds I guess?
