Probably more suited for general than macro section, I think. Absolutely tiny plant seeds with parachutes, each no more than 1mm across.

Thanks Janice, they were still attached to the seed pods, I just made sure to photograph them at angles that kept the pod from view.

Taken with the raynox 202 on my 70-300 using a sigma ringflash, for anyone interested.

Don't think so, I'm crap at plants but this was some scraggly little weed in the garden - much smaller than the Great Willowherb I googled!

Do they grow round the pond? They look just like the shots I took.

No pond, these plants are only 6 inches tall or so, growing on a pile of rubble the builders left behind. Will try and get an ID tomorrow if I remember.
