This is beautiful! I was looking at some big ones in my yard today, and remembering blowing them to ‘tell the time’ when I was a child. I can’t remember who taught me to do that, but whoever it was, obviously wasn’t concerned about the seeds spreading to fill their garden with future dandelions,
Beautiful photo. Looks just like my allotment – which was covered in them until Wednesday, when I had to scramble around with a binliner and try to capture as many as I could so they didn’t blow into the plot next door. I wouldn’t have bothered, but for the stern gaze of Bill-next-door who has just had open heart surgery and yet has a plot as immaculate as ever. I’m definitely the weak link on our site …

My kids used to love doing that too. I quite like dandelions – they’re jolly and bright and the seed-heads are quite pretty.
I agree. I told my neighbour a couple of weeks ago that I couldn’t remove them while they were blooming – they looked too wonderful.
I love it when they get wet too, they all kind of spindle up.

I took another one which I posted up on Flickr, which I think I prefer:
