Get ready to play ‘What’s the Time, Mr. Wolf?’, inspired by this remarkable plant.

The dandelion has a rather mischievous nickname, ‘Pee the Bed.’ In French, it’s called pissenlit, because it acts as a natural diuretic. This humble plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its cleansing properties.

The dandelion goes through striking transformations throughout its life cycle. When in full bloom, its bright yellow flowers resemble the sun. As it matures, the flower turns into a delicate, silvery seed head, much like the moon. Finally, when the seeds are carried away by the wind, they spread across the sky like tiny stars.

This everyday plant is more than just a weed, it’s a symbol of change, resilience, and the passage of time.
