Sycamore seeds
Sycamore seeds (Acer pseudoplatanus). The sycamore is native to Europe, although it has been introduced into temperate areas worldwide. The wings on these seeds allow them to be dispersed far away from the tree they came from by the wind. They rotate as they fall, which keeps them airborne in the manner of a helicopter. This aids the spread of the species. Photographed in spring, in the UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of sycamore seeds, also known as Acer pseudoplatanus. Originating from Europe but now found in temperate regions worldwide, these seeds have a remarkable adaptation for dispersal - their wings. As depicted in this image taken during springtime in the United Kingdom, these delicate structures enable the seeds to travel far away from their parent tree with the assistance of wind. The unique design of these winged seeds allows them to rotate gracefully as they descend, resembling miniature helicopters navigating through the air. This ingenious mechanism aids in the widespread distribution and colonization of sycamores across various landscapes. It is a testament to nature's ingenuity and adaptability. The photograph captures not only the botanical marvels of sycamore reproduction but also highlights Britain's rich flora and biological diversity. Every detail, from the seed's structure to its connection with other parts like stems and twigs, offers insight into plant biology and reproductive processes. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment, showcasing both scientific precision and artistic finesse. The image serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and how even seemingly small components can play an essential role in sustaining life on Earth.
