Goatsbeard Achenes and Stalk with Parachutes

Goatsbeard Achenes and Stalk with Parachutes
Here you can see the stalk of a goatsbeard parachute. The thick, barbed area is called an "achene" and inside is where you will find the actual seed. Did you know that strawberry "seeds" are actually achenes? The seeds are inside this outer husk! To find out more about achenes, Wiki has a very good page here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achene

Very good choice to focus on the stem giving the parachutes a softer look.
