Ha ha! Are you being sarcastic Jurgis? I'm quite imaginative when I put my mind to it but I couldn't really be bothered here. I like the word одуванчик!

Beautiful with the dew like crystal balls covering the top! These flowers are so cool, with their sophisticated seeds - common and yet amazing, a favorite at all ages. I can recall as a child having much amusement with the little parachutes - while being tasked to weed them out of the lawn - thus ensuring future employment:) We have many species here, some quite large and showy. Does the russian name imply some endearment or affection? Could you say одуванчишка?

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad to have sparked off some happy memories. The word is simply одуванчик and I don't see any reason why you can't say одуванчишка but it'd be best to check that with a real russian. However, I don't remember hearing any russians speaking with endearment or affection about a dandelion!
