dandelion wish
Blown seedhead hope
A dandelion wish is the childhood ritual of blowing the white seed head of a dandelion while making a wish, the seeds scattering like tiny parachutes.
The wish supposedly comes true if all seeds disperse in one breath.
The phrase evokes innocent optimism and fleeting hopes: She closed her eyes and made a dandelion wish.
