("Tumbleweed," by the way, is the American

common name for
Amaranthus albus, an introduced weed.)

In the Southwest, it's Salsoa kali, the infamous
Russian thistle. :-)

In Midland's fierce spring winds, all of my ripening
Allium schubertii stalks blew off and bounce around
the yard like tumbleweeds.
