Natural dandelions wilt rather quickly, so plastic or silk replicas are preferred - except no one has found any yet

They are available from Withycombe Fair in England.
Chas gave me my dandelion and also gave me the heads up as to where to obtain more.
I have a few spare artificial dandelions which I will bring with me to Ventura next month.

I was given a silk dandelion by piperdbh when we were in North Carolina, though I'm not sure where he got it from. They are out there.

I have yet to locate any type here in my part of the world, but be sure if I do I will post up the info ASAP!

I went to the Withycombe Fair web site. They are about $2.00 each (come in a bundle of 5 for about 6 pounds) but the postage is awful. About $18 to Europe and around $24 to the USA. You can get several bundles before the postage goes up however.

I would look into brokering some for the Order of the Dandelion, but I may be moving in the next 60 days.

There may be some sources from China. When I was surfing around, there seemed to be some wholesalers out there. But I didn't want to go too deep into it.

I'll look around some shops here in Germany, but there may not be much until next spring.
