Can I name a plant ?

This beautiful plant is called Geum triflorum, its seed head is composed of tiny seeds and at some point, its sepals open to whispery plumes.

It is found in Canada and the US, widespread in prairies of Idaho, New York, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, South Dakota, New Mexico, and Arizona.

From what I have read about it, this plant has many benefits, a favorite of several species of bees, it is also a source of forage for some animals. It's popular as an ornamental plant. It is also known to be used by Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Plateau for medicinal purposes; making infusions with the root to treat sore throats, canker sores, severe coughs, tuberculosis, and making it into a salve and applying it to wounds, rashes and blisters. They also make tea out of the whole plant to promote good health.

The Geum Triflorum, commonly known as Prairie Smoke for the wisps resembling smoke, is also called by many names depending upon which area they are found, some call it torch flower, old man's whiskers, grandfather's beard, long-plumed purple avens, lion's beard, Johnny-smokers, and three sisters.

So many names for this beautiful and amazing plant, and yet I would add one more, I would call it the Cotton Candy plant...because it looks like one ☺
