Dandelions - Blog Posts

dandelions are magic. literally tiny suns in the grass that turn into the moon and then the stars when you blow on them. fucking insane.

One of the school janitors was outside and saw me making flowers crowns and asked to take a picture of us. So I dre one of the pictures she took while we were sitting on a bench.

Didn't know how to draw @entheundead as a deer, because of a inside joke.

I picked the most hilarious picture she took.

Dandelions are blooming!!!!

Didn't have two classes today so I decided tp make flower crowns. I made a flower crown and thought my friend to em too.

@entheundead

There weren't many other flowers around so the flower crown is made of only dandelions. Im gonna make many more!

Dandelions are one of my favorite flowers.

They're gonna start blooming soon , along with other spring flowers. So I can't wait to start making flower crowns.

I havent done watercollor in awhile so this was fun, but I did it on the wrong kind of paper. Buts thats fine, I had fun. And I can aways redo it on the right kind of paper.

dandelion facts:

Stories about dandelions can be found in folklore almost worldwide!

Dandelions have a diuretic effect (they make you pee,) which is reflected in some of their common names (piss-a-bed)

most North American dandelions reproduce asexually by apomixis, creating loads of identical daughters!

Since they reproduce asexually, these dandelions don't need to be pollinated, even though they produce lots of pollen and nectar. The dandelions that pop up in a lawn feed pollinators without receiving any benefit for themselves.

Dandelion seeds can sprout at any temperature between 0 and 36 degrees Celsius!

Dandelions can regenerate themselves from just a piece of their taproot!

dandelions have a near worldwide distribution and were introduced to North America as a food crop!

Dandelions grow bigger and produce more viable seeds in conditions of higher carbon dioxide, suggesting that human-caused carbon emissions are good news for the dandelions!

Dandelions have been shown to pass epigenetic changes to their DNA caused by stress to their offspring.
