A Natural Choice

I’m continuously fascinated by what happens to the dandelion flower when it turns to seed. I’ve never seen any plant in the transition from the bright and wet yellow blossom to this bone-dry constellation of seeds. I wonder how it happens. How does each yellow petal change humidity, colour, texture, and shape? These look dead, but we know the life-filled seed is only getting ready to take flight and grow another beautiful plant. It’s a wonder that we consider this amazing plant a weed. It is full of life, medicine, and beauty!
