A vertically oriented print in black ink on cream paper depicts a dense thicket of plants. On the left, a thick, fuzzy cattail head with a thin spike stands upright. To the right, multiple milkweed pods have burst open, releasing long, silky white seed tufts that trail in wisps. Fine, intricate lines create detailed textures across the plants and background ferns. The bottom margin includes the handwritten title "SEED-TIME" and signature "Leo Meissner."
