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. http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Crown%20Flower.html The unfolding, new leaves in the centre of this plant look so beautiful:)
