| Hi there,
I thought, I`d give it a shot. A few days ago I found a smallish seed with about five long "hair things" attached to it, which I thought was a pappus, and about 3 or 4 inches long, in our flat. I probably had picked it up on my clothes while walking either through town or our small zoo (Europe, Switzerland, Basel). So basically like a dandelion seed with a long bit on it. The seed was dark, shorter and thinner than an average dandelion seed. Couldn`t find it later on, so sorry, no pics. But I thought that someone could recognize it if they had dealt with it before. Just curious, thanks anyway, bye, Lin |

| Nothing but a wild guess but it sounds like something from the thistle family. Milk thistle, bull thistle, maybe asclepias. No way to know for sure. Dave |
