Lesser Burdock Seed Heads

Seeds are a powerful symbol of hope, potential and transformation. Whilst encased within their protective husks, they also represent protection. Additionally, the seed conveys the sense of continuity and endurance as something that persists, even when the conditions are not ideal. Finally, the seed symbolises resilience and the ability to adapt and grow, despite the odds.
