Have been unable to research differences and find answer as to whether or not:

1) hot air is required (as in "full of it"), or
2) lung prowess psi (how big of a "blowhard" is needed).

Google search results are sadly lacking on these two points.

Those with initimate, personal knowledge on these matters
are encouraged to add to this general store of knowledge.

    So, did you ever make a wish? :)

    You're supposed to make a secret wish and then blow the seeds away to make the wish grow and come to life. Haven't you ever done that...heard this before?

    I did it a few times in Brookhaven in Coburn's Field...after you're done, simply discard the green stalk.

    Somehow, I didn't think doing this as a Marine was fitting, so I stopped the practice :)

    LOL! I've never hear that before. This flower is not like a dandelion. You'd have to blow awfully hard to get them to leave the center! However, for those of us filled with lots of hot air, that may not be a problem! ;-)
