For the real dandelion lovers out there (watch out!), The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) carries Dandelight. I bet you never thought of this marketing opportunity.

"The design starts with a real dandelion, whose downy seeds have been painstakingly plucked then attached, one by one, to an LED, which connects to a battery via a slender copper stem. Made in The Netherlands." www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Dandelight_10451_10001_199149_-1_26674_46162_199190

Probably why it lists at $140. (!)
