Dandelions

Dandelions grow in the northern part of the world & its Latin name is Taraxacum Magianale. It can also grant wishes. Dandelions grow from one inch to one foot & has a yellow flower. It is sensitive to light, only opening with the sun & curling when the sun is no longer in sight. Once it's fully grown, the yellow flower blooms into a white puffball; the seed head. Dandelions are high in A, B, C, D, E, & K vitamins & are rich in iron, potassium, zinc, magnesium, & copper minerals. For magical uses, it is used in growth & functions of the liver potions. Dandelion roots are the most powerful, its leaves are for digesting, & the flowers can be used in Anti-Swelling Solutions. This can also be used in the Appetite Enhancing Aperitif.

Due to their magical components, plant dandelions in prime numbers. It needs both full sunlight & rainwater or tap water. When first watering, water the seed until its soil is damp. After, water it only when the soil is dry. Harvest its leaves when the plant is four to eight inches in height, as when the leaves are larger they are bitter. Harvest its flower heads when the flower is fully open for the sickle. Harvest before the dandelion alters into a puffy seed head.
