At first, I always thought this was a flower, but after searching for information about this plant on Google, it turned out it was in the seed stage. At this stage, the plant has seeds that look very unique and very flower-like. When it rains or is blown by the wind, the seeds fly and disperse. Look at its appearance, isn't it very unique?
However, despite its beauty, this plant often disturbs and pollutes plantations, so many people consider it a pest,even I often cut this plant growing in my plantation.
Its population is also relatively stable in my area, and we can easily find it almost anywhere, both inside plantations and on the edges of forests.

These seeds have large, hairy buds that are easily blown by the wind. They're also so tiny that their uniqueness can only be seen from a fairly close distance. To get the best results, I even tried photographing them using a macro lens.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some images of this wildflower here.
