- Question What is the white thing on them? Some sort of seed fluff? It's near-perfect except that. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 19:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- I guess so. They are less than 10mm long. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:00, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Presuming you don't have a shot of similar quality without the fluff, Support Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 22:46, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
