A wildflower meadow walk – dandelion clocks

This is part two of my wildflower meadow walk. Yesterday I posted my buttercup and daisy pictures, today it is dandelion clocks. It is said that you can tell the time by blowing on the clocks. The number of puffs it takes to remove all of the seed pods is the time of day.  It is unlikely to be accurate but it keeps children amused trying.

Dandelion snow – there were drifts of dandelion seeds in the headgerows and from a distance it looked just like snow.
