Seeds That Float, Fly, or Hitchhike Through the Desert Southwest

Photographs by Taylor James illustrate the ingenious design of desert seeds that employ different methods for dispersal and propagation.

Seeds can float in the air and water, fly far from their mother plant, and hitchhike on the fur of animals.  Exhibit organized by the Biomimicry Center at Arizona State University in collaboration with the Desert Botanical Garden, ASU's Herbarium, and ASU's Design School.
