I saw a little white plant that's blowing in the strong wind. The white plant smells like vanilla ice cream.  It feels like a smooth rock. The stem that brings it up is very long. It also has a dark green color. - Nicole

Purple corn flowers from faraway they look like weeds. their height goes to about 2-4 inches long stem they grow through aug june. -Hayley

I saw things that look like puff balls.I think it is pretty rough.It smells like a dirty trash can.I wonder what it is called.

I also thought it was prickely.The color is brown and white.It came from the plant I saw.It looks as prickly as a hedge hog.It has a stick to hold on to.I think it  will turn into some kind of flower.They may even be an animal. -Samara
