The Dandelion
For many it is just an annoying weed, while for others it is the most underappreciated of plants, which provides an important source of food for birds and insects early in the season. Humans have used the dandelion both as a food stuff and herbal remedy for centuries and many believe it to have mystical and magical qualities, with much of its folklore relating to its ability to answer questions or bring good luck. In the language of flowers, the dandelion represents "a wish come true."

Unlike most other plants, the dandelion accounts for numerous myths and superstitions that are specifically related to its seed head. Some say that wishes made while blowing off the plant’s seeds will be granted, others that you can send a message to a loved one by concentrating on what you would like to convey while blowing the seeds in their direction. Dandelions are linked to perseverance, strength in adversity, clarity of purpose and are thought to impart lion-like courage and bravery even in everyday battles. They are said to represent the qualities of warmth, radiance, illumination, healing, hope, transformation and growth. On top of all that, the dandelion is one of the most joyful signs that winter is over and spring has arrived. So what’s not to love about this resilient little "weed?"

Language of Flowers Series
Whether to convey feelings of love, desire and friendship, congratulations and condolence, declarations of intent and even forbidden and unspeakable things, flowers have been used as a form of language throughout recorded history, each country and culture with its own version. The Language of Flowers series brings this age-old custom back to life and discuss the meanings, folklore, properties and uses of seven well-known flowers. The messages conveyed by those flowers are inspirational, so too is the technology used to bring nature to life on the coins. Opening with the rose, the series continues with the dandelion, marigold, forget-me-not, chamomile, peony and violet.
