"By the great roads, by the small forest paths, in the green wide meadows, even at the very thresholds of village houses, dandelions bloom. Everyone knows these simple flowers that look like a little sun with golden ray petals. Dandelions bloom all summer long, and their ripe seeds are gathered in a light, fluffy ball. If you blow on the ball - the light flying seeds will float, fly in the air. That's why the flower is called "dandelion" - so I.S. Sokolov-Mikitov introduces readers to these flowers in his stories.

And so in one park she met a red tulip and asked it, "Where would you most like to live?" "I would dream of living in the velvety grass of a meadow by an ancient castle," replied the beautiful flower, "I would be admired by a princess and talked about my beauty every day." The goddess looked sadly at the flower and turned to the rose. "And I would like to grow and twist on the wall of this castle, I need help and support," replied the rose. The flower goddess got up and hurried into the forest, where she found the violet. The violet answered: "I want to live in the forest away from strangers' eyes, the stream will cool my feet, and the tall trees will protect me from the bright sun. Then she talked to the sunflower, but it only wanted to bask in the sun, to the orchid, which dreamed of dancing, to the daffodil, which did not even answer anything, as it was busy narcissism in the reflection of the water. The girl still walked the earth for a long time, and one day, in a meadow, she met a stout and strong dandelion. Asking the same question, she heard: "I would like to grow up where happy children run and play, it would be wonderful if on the way home they found me and gave me to their mothers. I would like to grow up by the roadside, in fields flooded with bright sunlight, among the rocks in the yard. The main thing is to bring people joy and happiness with my bright yellow color. The flower goddess was delighted, placing her hand on the curly head of the dandelion, she confessed that it had become her favorite flower. "You will bloom from spring to fall, and become a favorite for all the children," whispered the sorceress.

Dandelion
DANDELION (Latin Taráxacum). There are several versions of the origin of the Latin name. According to one, it comes from the Greek words for "cure" and "eye disease". According to another, it comes from the Greek "to soothe". The third is from the word combination "wild lettuce": the young leaves of the dandelion are eaten as a salad.
The word "dandelion" is of Moscow origin, from the verb base to blow or blow off. At the slightest whiff of air, the fluffy flyers detach from the flowerpod and fly away, leaving a "bald head". Associated with this property are its folk names: dandelion, downblower, wind-blower, flyers, air flower, bald head, Jewish cap, kulbaba. For its early flowering and healing properties, it was also called "March bush," "elixir of life," "grandmother's grass."
In Christianity, the dandelion, as one of the "bitter herbs," became a symbol of the Lord's Passion, and it is in this capacity that it is depicted in scenes of the crucifixion. But, as with almost all plants, its symbolism is ambiguous. And although the dandelion is a traditional symbol of grief in general, at the same time, according to folk beliefs, it symbolizes the power of the sun and light, is considered a flower of fidelity and happiness. Its seeds, flying away at the lightest blow, symbolize the transience and perishability of human life. In the language of flowers dandelion means happiness loyalty and devotion. But a bouquet of dandelions suggests that the relationship is likely to be fleeting, can suddenly end.
Recorded by hereditary Siberian healers Tsynkin old legend explains why this flower is called "grandmother's grass." A maiden walks through the woods. She saw a hut. She went inside. The hut is dark, and someone is moaning. "Who's there? Answer me!" - the girl says and hears a voice: "Light the light. You'll see!" The beautiful maiden lit the incandescent light, crossed herself over to the icons, and saw an old woman lying on the stove, crying. "Thank you for coming to see me," says the old woman. - God sent you, that I did not die, and did not take away with me the wisdom of life. Swipe away the cobwebs, light the stove, bring me some water, and make me drunk. I will not be able to eat the grass with a golden head, put the leaves in water and feed me. The roots boil twice and serve me. My chest pain will go away, my heart will calm down. Anoint my legs with juice and take away my swelling. The beautiful girl did as the old woman commanded: gave her decoction of roots, watered leaves, smeared her swollen legs with juice. And the old woman came to life, cheered up and commanded that not only the girl herself remembered this miraculous herb, but also tell others about it.
Soon she let Pavlinka and her chicks go out into the yard to eat grass, to dig in the sand, and tied it to a post by the leg so that the hen did not run away. But it was no time: no time grandmother hid in the house, as she twitched, tore the string, and flew over the fence, and after her, the chickens crawled through the holes in it. The family was diligently digging in the grass, and a black kite caught up with them there. When Pavlinka spotted the evil predator, she cackled anxiously, and the children, realizing the danger signal, immediately rushed in different directions and hid among the grass. The desperate mother herself bravely rushed at the kite.
When grandmother Hanulya grabbed the brood of chickens, it was all over. She searched for a long time, but when she saw wisps of feathers, she immediately realized what happened to Pavlinka. She started looking for chickens, but found none. Only unusually bright fluffy flowers yellowed among the grass. Having counted twenty-one of them, grandmother decided that it was her chickens turned into them. Since then, every spring, these florets have been yellowing among the grasses all over the area.
In Ukraine, there is also a legend about the origin of dandelions. They are called kulbaba, literally translated as sharbaba. Once upon a time in the Carpathian Mountains lived a guy named Kul. All the girls looked at him, but he did not pay attention to them, because he fell madly in love with a beauty named Zvonka. She lived with an old woman on the highest mountain in Kosovo. After her husband died, she lived alone. One day she went to a bazaar in Kosovo, saw an orphan girl and took her in. She bought her sweets and outfits, washed her and named her Zvonka. And so they lived together. Zvonka grew up like a red dawn, like a slender spruce.

The first legend of Dandelion
In ancient times, there was a small village on the banks of the Great River. At the very edge of it stood a tiny house, like a little dome. In it lived a pretty little girl. In a green dress and a golden-yellow kerchief, she went round the houses with a wooden milkman, and poured milk into a jug for anyone who wanted it. The girl looked like a good fairy. She was cheerful and smiling, she found a kind word for everyone and brought good news to everyone: she wished health to the sick, reconciled spouses who had quarreled, and predicted a soon and happy marriage for girls.Maybe that is why she was eagerly awaited everywhere, because her friendly smile brought sunshine and spring into even the gloomiest of homes. People nicknamed her the Blow-Off Milkwife for this, as she "blew away", drove away from them heavy thoughts and bad moods. The nickname sounded so cute that it did not offend the girl. The Little Milkwort grew up and grew fond of the Lark for his song without words. This song thrilled her to the core. The whole world sounded to the girl by the Lark's song. Whether the goat shakes her head and the bells on her neck jingle, and the girl already runs to see if the Lark flies over the run. If an oriole whistles on an old linden tree, the Milk Dancer immediately rushes to that call, thinking that the Lark is waiting for her. And at night she dreamt.
Happiness overwhelmed the girl's heart. But it didn't last long. She ruined her own great love. She wanted to know the words of the Lark's song.
He descended to her from the sky and sang:
Tender is my love for you, as the sun's first ray, but beckons to the sky, and his call is mighty.
The girl was seized by a desire to hold her beloved, to leave him by her side forever, and she rushed to him with a plea to do so. But, a free bird, Lark soared into the sky and flew away. Only now did the Milk-Blonde realize that, having wanted to deprive Lark of his freedom, she had lost his love.
In despair, she fluttered her kerchief, and several gold coins fell out.
And the gold coins flew, swirling in a strong, hurricane-force wind from the Great River. For a long time the wind raged and carried the gold coins around the world. Where they fell, many golden flowers sprang up in the spring, which people have since called simply dandelions.
And the lark circles above them and sings its song without words.
In Christianity, the dandelion as one of the "bitter herbs" became a symbol of the Passion of the Lord, and it is in this capacity that it is present in the images of the Crucifixion of the Madonna and Child. It is believed that the symbolism of the Emblem of the Passion of Christ is probably related to the bitterness of the leaves of this plant. In scenes of the Crucifixion, the dandelion is sometimes found in Dutch paintings.
Even so, dandelions are often given the epithet "sunny." It turns out that their life is a reflection of the profound processes of the sun. The bursts of rapid development of these flowers occur in the second year of the solar maximum. During these years, they densely fill all the lawns and bloom to the delight of themselves and the numerous hordes of insects collecting nectar and pollen.
This property of the dandelion is reflected in the second legend:
When he woke up in the spring, he looked carefully around him and saw the sun, which noticed the dandelion and illuminated him with a yellow ray.
The dandelion turned yellow and grew so fond of the sun that it never took its rapturous gaze off of it.
And so all his life, until he turns gray.
Another interesting legend about the Dandelion: One day in spring the Sun rose in the early morning, washed his face with warm rain, and went for a walk in the sky. And he sees that the land is good! And woods and meadows - all in green clothes, every blade of grass overflowing. And yet something is missing.
- What else can I do? - Sunny asked himself. - What would make people happy?
The Sun waved its golden sleeve - sunflakes splashed on the ground, and cheerful yellow lights on the meadows and paths - dandelions. They look like me! - Sunny was glad. And angry Winter nearby was hiding in a deep ravine in a deep forest. She heard that Sunny was laughing, and she looked out quietly from her hiding place. He looks up and there are lots and lots of little suns shining in the grass.
