I did the same thing. Mom laughed and hugged me, then told me about pretty flowers that are sometimes not so nice. i must have been about four; it was during Truman
OR, a Plugger gives them a nickname. The one I give them is: “Yellow-headed, soil-sucking demons”, but that’s only for the ones in my lawn and garden. The rest of them, I enjoy.

A little girl offered me a bouquet like that. “Thank you,” I said. “I don’t often get gifts like that.” Her mother said: “I do.”

An age old tradition, nice. Used to do that myself back 70+ odd years, also made necklaces.

Maybe the Grandson picked the blooming dandelions from her yard. That would be nice, too.
