Burning Dandalion





Hi People! I think everyone played with dandelion at least once.  I’ve always thought that it is cool how the yellow flower turns white. If you haven’t you guys didn’t have any childhood. :P I shared this short video because I thought it looks really cool when the fire covers the whole flower. However, according to my friends who tried it they said this happens really fast so you actually have to put slow motion to see the dandelion burning like video. I didn’t notice that the video was slow motioned until my friends told me. By the way, I don’t remember seeing dandelion in Guatemala. I remember there was a lot in Korea. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed it :D

  1. Wow, that is really cool. I first thought that it is going to look like a sunflower hahah. I wonder how they even thought about burning a dandalion. It is a very short video, but very interesting. I never saw a burnt dandalion. I thought dandalions were just to blow. Very interesting, and very cool.

  2. That is such a waste of a beautiful flower! It was pretty cool but still, it was disappointing seeing it just go to waste, burning. Although it still looked pretty after it was set on fire because the tips had a black dot. What I'm trying to say is that I think these kind of videos are unnecessary. But interesting post Cindy!

  3. Haha, I've seen this before. I never thought it would end up on the blog though. Probably because it's so freaking metal. Either way, I love it. It's kind of perfect. It's the beauty of battle, and that's a long conversation.

  4. Dandelions are so much fun! I always loved blowing them, but burning them looks like it is a lot cooler. I love how the dandelion slowly burned. I might start doing that instead of blowing them.

  5. I love dandelions! I think it is so cool how they stand for making a wish. This video was really cool. I like how it looked when it was done burning. It looked like it was a different flower.

  6. Dandelions was the best thing when I was a kid. Best memories of my childhood. It was like the call of duty for me

  7. That's really cool!! Dandelions are really cool and it's really fun to play with. I never seen dandelions burning but it was really pretty. Especially when dandelions are burning, with fire I thought it was really cool :)

  8. That is amazing! I love dandelions! This is really cool and it's really cool how the flames flow throughout the dandelion. I used to blow them a lot.

  9. I loved dandelions and I used to make wishes once I blew them. Not that they came true but that's a different story. This looks cool! I love how it burns slowly even if killing plants is bad.

  10. It was pretty cool seeing the dandelion catch on fire because it looked like the fire went around the flower getting every part of it.

  11. We should set fire to a field of dandelions and sacrifice a goat to the mongolian sun gods. It would be both trippy and cultural. Let's do it.

  12. this video was so cool. i thought that it would take longer for it to burn. when i was little i used to spend hours looking for one and when i found it i would blow it off and make a wish.

  14. It was pretty cool. I have never seen a burning dandalion in my life. I really liked it and I would like to try it.

  15. Very interesting. I thought it would burn faster, but regardless it is very cool. I don't see how this post is worthy for Mr. D but cool.

  16. You misspelt dandelion. Still pretty cool though. I wish i could see more footage of this phenomenon. Interesting video...

  17. I love dandelions, when I was smaller they used to grow in my building's park so I would always blow them away and make a wish. I had never seen a burning one though, it looks pretty cool, but I do agree with Arige, it is a waste of a beautiful flower.

  18. It's pretty cool how they burn out. I might try it once but maybe not since they're quite rare.

  19. Wow that is really cool!! I wish dandelions were more common though, since they are so pretty.

  20. How interesting! I was initially reluctant to watch this because it's a sad thought to think of burning a plant just for the fun of it. But I do think that the effect that the fire had on it, as the dandelion burned was very unique. It's neat to watch things like this.

  21. I think that that was sort of a waste for a beautiful plant. But still, it was pretty cool. I guess I never really thought about what a dandelion would look like if it burned, but now I know!

  22. This reminds me of a weird conversation i had with my friends. They kept telling me that dying is beautiful and in my opinion it is not but after much discussion they convinced me that if you could record someone drowing in the water the conviction of living and fighting to live is a beautiful cinematic
    way of dying. I am sure its the same with this burning dandalion, it was beautiful to watch the dandelion die while being burned.

  23. Dandelions are so fun to play with! Though it looks like burning them might be even funner. It was so cool how the dandelion looked like a tiny sun, then a burned piece of plant. Then there were all those tiny flames! I wonder what would happen if you tried to blow on it now...

  24. This a short and beautiful video. I enjoyed it didn't last that much but still it is entertaining (for the 18 seconds) hahaha. I love playing with dandelions, even though it is really hard to find them where i live.

  25. Just as I thought that there could not be any better use of a dandelion I was proven wrong. This is really cool.

  26. Wow! That was awesome and it was cool how the dandelion started to burn on fire. NICE! And one day if I find a dandelion, I will get matches and burn it.

  27. Poor dandelion, HAHAHA it's a cool video. I really enjoyed it. it looks beauty when the dandelion is shining. I like it.

  28. This is really awesome! I love the affect the fire had on the dandelion. It was like a nuclear explosion! I could even imagine all the little people that live inside the dandelion living happily and then suddenly burning up into flames. maybe this is how the Flare happened in the Maze Runner! I'm just kidding, don't listen to my nonsense. Anyway, do the little petals on the dandelion still fly away in the wind after it has been burned?

  29. I saw the video and I don't get bored of it. It is really how the3 world should end in flames or at least jacques dies in flames.

  31. I like how the dandelion catches fire. It'd be fun to do it myself

  32. This looks so cool! I watched this with Sofi L. and she said it was sad because dandelions are pretty and she ruined the fun, but I still think it's cool.
