Up close with a dandelion

I was intrigued by the intricacy of the dandelion seed head.  I wonder if each of those little seeds has the same number of "hairs".  Microscopes are wonderful!  I may try photographing just one of the seeds close up.

I guess it's because I spent so many years looking at symmetry in crystals that I really appreciate the symmetry (or non-symmetry) in nature.
