Here's a bit of nonsense for a Monday evening: a summary of my Very Scientific Study about what people call Dandelion Seed Heads.

Thanks to everyone who decided that talking to a random person on the internet about what they call dandelions was a worthwhile thing to do (or if not actually worthwhile at least a tolerable momentary distraction from the world).

Attached: 1 image Having established that dandelion seed heads are definitely NOT known as DANDELION CLOCKS by everyone I have a follow on question... What DO you know them as? Chatting to people already I have had FLUFFS (Lithuania) and WINDY PUFFS (Canada) both of which are SUPERB. Are there any others? Will there be enough to make a World Map of Dandelion Names?! 😃 Places, names & any other trivia welcome!

Elsewhere in the #garden, there are many #dandelions. A lot of people think of them as weeds but I don’t. Of course, they’re also the logo of #Diaspora*. This #DandelionClock was in the shaded part of the the garden.
