Dandelion = a small wild plant with a bright yellow flower that becomes a soft white ball of seeds called a dandelion clock.
“Most of the dandelions had changed from suns into moons.”

They are among my (and Petronela’s) favourite flowers – so cheerfully misbehaved.😉
Indeed <3 Cheerfully misbehaved and deeply entwined into magic transformations 🙂 Thank you very much!
In my city many people are obsessed with eradicating them from their lawns. Some even go to superstores to purchase elaborate mechanised pullers. I’ve always thought them beautiful.
I love them anyway…I am not familiar with any “movement” against them in my city <3
We get a whole bunch each year. They are among the daisies which make them hard to get when you snap their heads off. They’re messy too. Get all that yellow on your hands-messy.
I like daisies too and the messy yellow 🙂 Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Methinks it’s psychological projection of their own inner “weeds.” Like Lady Macbeth, “out damned spot!” Xx☺😱💖
I totally agree! You see way beyond my words :). I am every day at war with my inner “weeds”. Sometimes I win, sometimes I learn 🙂 I am sorry for responding so late.. I bid you a lovely day!
Never heard this wonderful observation from Nabokov. His visuality strikes and your choice of these harmonious definitions as well. ~
Thank you very much! All his quotes are wonderful and insightful.
