Also in English this post is a lovely read and your haiku’s are little gems just like the dandelion βœ¨πŸ’› I love this wishing flower, it’s one of my favorite flowers and can’t understand that people call it a weed. This little flower is magic ✨

I’ve always known Dandelions as β€œtell the times”, my children still enjoy picking them and blowing on them to release the delicate seeds 🩡

Ah, I didn't know that! Curious if you are blowing them yourself... It's magic isn't it?
