As far as I remember it was a wish kind of thing for us. As a kid we would blow those dandelions, but instead of making a wish before we would as some kind of question that could be answered with a number.
The amount of the little seeds that would be left attached to the plant would be the answer. Which sometimes was quite ridiculous amount when the seeds were too fresh to just fly away :)
I like dandelions even if they take over the lawns. I don't know why some people are so eager to get rid of them. They bloom pretty, they are edible and they are fun when they turn to those fluffy balls.
Let them be, hoomans!
Let them be!
All those were shot in the very late afternoon in out lawn where dandelions can grow.
There is even few plants of wild daises that bloom almost all year round. They are so nice, that the grass is cut around them on purpose so they don't lose their pretty little heads :)
