Between the tropical down pours there was sunshine for a whole hour. The dandelion seed heads, that have been waiting for so long, took the water from the soil and pumped up their tall stems. In the strengthening sun light they pushed open the protective sepals.
Baby hair tufts of blonde seed parachutes slowly appeared like a crown . There was time to get my phone, to write this and time to watch as slowly, so slowly the parachutes made the perfect circle of seeds and the sun dried them out and the wind blew them away and the dandelions started all over again, all over again.
How lovely you took the time to watch

I was waiting for a workman, so I couldn’t do any thing, which is much less poetic, but so the world turns! It

Beautiful photographs of a beautiful flower. They are in their glory at the moment with all this rain. Amelia

An impressive transformation. One can sense the silkiness of the parachutes.
