Neige en mai! Snow in may! [EXPLORER]
Cette « neige », qualifiée également de « pollen » ou encore de « coton » n'est rien de tout ça. C'est la bourre du peuplier. Il s'agit en fait d'un duvet composé de longs poils soyeux auquel sont rattachées les graines de la plante. En langage scientifique, on appelle cela un akène plumeux.
This ‘snow’, also known as ‘pollen’ or ‘cotton’, is nothing of the sort. It is the stuffing of the poplar. It's actually a downy substance made up of long silky hairs to which the plant's seeds are attached. In scientific terms, it's called a feathery achene.
