Sure are, little helicopters 🙂 I remember throwing them up in the air when I was kid, and watch them spin around and around to the ground. I still do now, on occasion, lol!

So do I. Lol I have one here and the seedlings pop up all through the vege garden. Forever pulling them out.

🙂 Yes, that’s the only problem they readily seed and grow quite quickly if you don’t pull them out. My folks had 4 such trees in our back garden when I was younger.

I grew up in New York, where as children we would do the same with the samaras of the maple trees. We would also pry apart the proximal end and stick the samara on our nose.

I have never seen the samaras on your nose trick. I will have to give that one a go! 🙂 Thanks for the links.

Then we’ll expect to see a self-portrait of you as a good samaratan.
