Gentle bed for little bug

There's nothing much that's softer than the down on a thistle.

  1. Isn't that a dandelion puff? thistle down is purple!

    (my sister used to call dandelion puffs "money finders" --she'd make a wish, blow the little seeds away, (and find money!))

  2. Yes, it's a dandelion. It's a giant dandelion, grown from seeds brought in from the coast. I have been hoping to find Giant Mallow, too. It's really disappearing fast.

    Yes, this one is a wishing puff, so 'tis. Very sweet memory of your sister.

    Speaking of money, by Bro and I grew up in a forest of eucalyptus trees. Their long, slim leaves were "dollar bills" in our little "General Stores". Sometimes it was fun to be a kid on a city farm.
