Dandelion Blowball (Taraxacum officinale). In both British and American english, blowballs or clocks contain many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene has a fine hair-like material attached to it which allows wind-aided dispersal of the seeds. The fruit is eaten raw or cooked in a variety of ways.
