In the language of flowers, each day has its own bit of flora. The flower for today, September 27, is Dandelion, which signifies a rustic oracle.

Louise Cortambert tells us: “But the floating globes of the dandelion serve for tenderer purposes. Are you separated from the object of your love? Detach carefully one of those transparent and feathery spheres; each little feather of which they are composed is gifted with a gentle thought… You turn to the spot inhabited by the object of the charm, blow gently, and the little travellers, like faithful messengers, bear the tribute of your homage to [her] feet.

“Do you seek to know if the loved object is occupied with you, as you wish [her]? Blow on the feathery globe, and if there remains a single aigrette undetached, it is a sign that you are not forgotten… But this second charm must be conducted with great care. You must blow gently; for at any age, even at that which love renders most resplendent, it will not do to dissipate with too rough a breath the sweet illusions which embellish life.”
