Dandelion seedhead

Dandelion seedhead

[dot_recommends]

Dandelions, the prettiest weeds in gold and green, so quickly go to seed. There’s a British folk-custom of blowing on the seedheads to “tell the time”. The hour is the number of breaths it takes to blow off all the seeds. I was surprised to discover this is unknown in Sweden when I previously published a photo of a dandelion seedhead and asked “What’s the time?”
