Literary notes about dandelion (AI summary)

In literature, “dandelion” is sometimes employed as a richly evocative color that conjures images of bright, sunlit fields and rustic warmth. One notable use occurs in [1], where a stud-horse is described as “dandelion yellow in colour,” immediately suggesting a vivid, natural brightness that blends the unmistakable hue of the flower with a sense of vitality and robust character. This particular employment of a botanical term as a chromatic descriptor turns an everyday plant into a symbol of timeless, pastoral beauty, imbuing the narrative with an organic, radiant energy.
  1. He gave his kinsman Finnbogi five stud-horses, dandelion yellow in colour.
    — from The Viking Age. Volume 2 (of 2) The early history, manners, and customs of the ancestors of the English-speaking nations by Paul B. (Paul Belloni) Du Chaillu
