A Photo a week Challenge : Dead centre

This photo is of a seed which is called ‘ ajjana gadda’ in Kannada. It literally means ‘ grandfather’s beard’. The seed in the centre with hairs around it, this helps the seeds to fly from one place to another.

The unfolding, new leaves in the centre of this plant look so beautiful:)
