The Dandelion a Weed to Some and a Wish to Others

A yellow invasive flower that after its yellow bloom, changes to a puff ball, is ready for someone to blow and spread its seeds for the arrival of the next batch and a wish is made. For me the dandelion is a very significant flower in its persistence to grow in even the smallest of cracks, despite its delicate stem who once picked goes limp very quickly. I have many fond memories and have learned many lessons from what some view as a weed. When I was a little girl I would pick these for my grandmother she would delight in the sight of my face smiling handing her a full bouquet. She would place it in a crystal vase. Within hours they would wilt, however it was not the time the bouquet was there but the heart that went into the bouquets that mattered. I try to always remember this valuable lesson. Give from the heart what you can and always delight in the offerings of others. The dandelion can be used medicinally as well Dandelion Health Benefits | Almanac.com making it a pretty versatile flora. Whatever the symbolism of the dandelion means to you The Meaning Of Dandelions and Symbolism I take joy in welcoming the dandelion and making my wish. Today I wish you all a wonderful day filled with flowers that are weeds and weeds that are flowers and the mindfulness to choose what you see in this moment!
