Bulrushes let seeds fly

The boundary between living and inanimate nature is actually quite hazy. After all, the juices of life have left from the bulrush (Typha latifolia), dried to something brown and rustling.
But it still seems to know exactly how and when to send its seeds into the wide world. They should go as far as possible. The first portion is let out across the fields with strong blizzard winds and the second part is scattered on the springtime snow so that they can be carried along with the melt waters. Even with the slightest wind the air between the reeds fills with a cloud of seeds.
