How many people gather milkweed pods, and use them as wind drifters, to show how the wind is blowing, raising, and falling.
A few years ago, someone had a commercial product that was sold as a wind floater/detector. It looked like Milkweed without the seeds. So....I gathered a few in a coffee cup and put them in a small container with a small hole in the lid. I pick out a couple and watch them drift in the wind. You'd be surprised at how well they work. Better than anything that you can buy. A cup full will last for years.
