Tick Tock

Legend has it that the number of breaths it takes to blow off all the seeds of a dandelion globe that has gone to seed, is the hour number. Time, anyone?

 

 

Or

If blowing seeds is not your idea of telling time, consider this:

 

"The dandelion is called the rustic oracle; its flowers always open about 5 A.M. and shut at 8 P.M., serving the shepherd for a clock."

 

Who needs a watch?
