Cat-tails

I don't know the real name for them but this is what we called them as children, probably due to their soft and fluffy nature. I remember having a lot of fun with cat-tails as a child, running around, leaving a trail of floaty seeds behind me, and Cleo had just as much fun discovering how to strip the seeds away and blow them, shaking the wand and letting even more float around. At the end she said, "look! It's snowing!" And it certainly did look like it!
