As a young child I thought these flowers were so PERFECT…I remember gathering them and presenting them in a tight fisted bouquet to my MOM…who would then place them in the most lovely vase… LONG A cause it was a pretty one…Not sure the [long] was the best vase but Mom made it seem so……………
I do remember Daddy getting a SPECIAL tool that would rid our City lawn of those flowers…IT never worked… 
Some how I was DEEPLY Secretly relieved, so much so that in my teen years I would go past the PERFECT lawns of the city and BLOW the dandelion seeds, quite innocently…
The name Dandelion comes from the French for lion’s tooth (dent de lion) and came about because of the shape of the leaves.

We tried dandelions once. I like a little bitterness but that was too much. Maybe we should have cooked it in two waters?
You certainly captured their beauty in these photos.
Hi Dee
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful if not aggressive plants.. I know just what you mean about them.. I am always glad to see them about.. just not on my patch.. ha!
Do not worry about Sky Watch... what you have planned this weekend will take up plenty of time, and I'm sure the run will go very well again..
All the best to you and all the runners

Our garden is full of dandelions too! :) I do try to remove some each year but they do come back and I secretly love their bright yellow colour too.
Have a good run!
Personally, I STILL love dandelions. I almost took a photo of some here in Ontario today. Maybe tomorrow!
Beautiful Dee Mom!
That's a good documentary series on the dandelion. I enjoyed it very much.
