How to play

Tap it to blow the seeds away. Hands-on: swipe back and forth across it.

Notes

When it is done flowering, it turns into a round, fluffy seed head called a clock. Each seed hangs from its own tiny parachute of soft white hairs, so the wind can carry it far away to grow a new plant.

Tap it to blow: a gust bends the stalk, the seeds fly off and drift away, and then the seed head grows back. A single clock holds about 150 to 200 seeds. The name comes from the French for "lion's tooth," after the jagged edges of its leaves. With ✋ Hands-on on, swipe back and forth across it and the seeds come loose and drift away.
