they're cottonwood trees, the cotton flies off of them. I know because i'm way allergic to them.

their seeds actually have a feather-like structure which enables the seed to fly easily when they are blown by the wind.



however, try to examine also the seed structure of dandalions (im not just quite familiar about that plant coz its not common here in our place). If dandalion seeds are small and light, check if it has a feather-like structure which serve like a parachute of the seed so that when the wind blows, the seeds would easily be dispersed and fly. =)
