At the starting point of the preparation stands the question: Can one capture the force-potential of the dandelion, concentrate it, preserve the concentrate, and deploy it in the form of a manure in such a way that it communicates itself to the soil and to the growing plants? In the fading of the dandelion this potential is extinguished. The last stirring of life is the transformation of the cotyledons into the stalked pappus, which bears the seed beneath its little parasol. Before this artful conclusion is reached, the life process of the dandelion — which attains its culmination in the flower heads — must be kept in flow. This in turn can only be accomplished through a sheath organ that derives from the next higher kingdom of nature, the animal kingdom. The animal places its life processes in the service of its soul-interior being and keeps them in flow through this. According to the spiritual research of Rudolf Steiner, the peritoneum — or more precisely the mesentery — of the cattle fulfils this task with respect to the flower heads of the dandelion.
