The dandelion
The kingdom of heaven is like a dandelion, which at the end of its life sends up a stalk upon which its seed hangs. See Who the Seed is, and what the stalk is. When a breath or wind comes, the seed is carried off the stalk and buried in the ground. In those places with good soil, a new dandelion with the same image grows, which in turn yields many more seeds. And this seed spreads until it fills an entire field.
