Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 875.5 Hz, 109 cents flat of B♭5, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A dandelion starts as a bright yellow flower. When it is done flowering, it turns into a round, fluffy seed head called a clock. Each seed hangs from its own tiny parachute of soft white hairs, so the wind can carry it far away to grow a new plant.

Tap it to blow: a gust bends the stalk, the seeds fly off and drift away, and then the seed head grows back. A single clock holds about 150 to 200 seeds. The name comes from the French for "lion's tooth," after the jagged edges of its leaves. With ✋ Hands-on on, swipe back and forth across it and the seeds come loose and drift away.
