the head of the flower dandelion. I think when the bloom is gone and the white ‘fluff’ of the germinating seed on the point of being cast by the wind. As children we used to pick one and blow on the head: 1-2-3 thus telling the time when the ‘fluff’ was all blown off. There may be other references from other places. There may be another few meanings. ‘Sun-dial’.
