If you ever happen to find yourself walking in close proximity to Cattails, with bright yellow tops like this (below), I'd avoid brushing up against them if possible. The fine yellow powder from them gets all over anything that comes into contact with them. These ones are actually a little bit matured past their prime for that happening too dramatically.
