I See Dandelions More Like Flowers, Than Weeds

I never understood the whole "flowers vs. weeds" debate with dandelions, because to me, something as simple and beautiful as a dandelion should just be accepted as such. Why do we need to classify it?
However, if I...

thats what my sister would say when she held the yellow flower under my chin. if you can see yellow there on the throat that means you like butter she explained. the sunlight would always make a golden glow on my skin reflected off the...

My children would smell them. Their noses would turn yellow with the pollen. So cute.

I actually just ate some yesterday, for free, from my yard (I don't use fertilizers and pesticides on the lawn – don't take them from anywhere you don't know whether or not the ground's been treated with chemicals in any way, and...

Well I can understand the aspect of they ruin that perfect green lawn look, they attract bugs, etc. But I cannot understand how a beautiful flower can simply be referred to as a weed.

As far back as I can remember i knew something was different.. I did not think or react as others and always thought outside the box. So as I grew older I began to think more and more outside the box, which is hard when you work in...

When my family lived in the country I used to pick dandelions all the time and make bouquets out of them. I thought they were so fun and beautiful. But like the other members of my family I have allergies. I'd finish a fun day of...

I always make a wish when I blow on them :)

When I was a little boy my mom and I were visiting my elderly great aunt who lived near by. As we prepared to leave my mom and aunt stood on the lawn and continued their conversation for quite a while. To pass the time I wandered around...

Dandelions are flowers, and they are what most people consider to be weeds. There is nothing better than walking through the woods, looking not only at the animals and insects, but the so-called weeds as well. When most people get...

Dandelions are beautiful and I love when my little nephew is in my yard and comes running up with a "special bouquet" for Auntie Jaycee. Inevitably it is going to contain some of my prized tulips, daffodils, some tall grass...

What brought me here? How did this happen? Why did I not see? When did it start?Am I a failure as a mother? A good mother would have seen it and done something….

Dandelions are actually a food too :) I've made stir-fry dandelion. They are good and are good FOR you! :)
