OP When the dandelion flower had developed into a seed head, children in Australia [ Canada too ?] would pick it and blow the seeds away, the idea being that the number of times it took to send all the seeds off equaled the number of the hour of day.
This of course helps to account for the spread of what most consider a weed!
