Field Notes

Description:

As I was walking through the Amazon rainforest last year, this drifted through the canopy and onto my head. It reminded me of a giant dandelion seed so I had to take a photo - if anyone has any idea what plant it comes from I'd be fascinated to know!

Habitat:

Amazon rainforest, Ecuador.

Is the most beautiful seed dispersal. I like to see the seeds floating.
