Oh glorious dandelion
So misunderstood.
Maligned as a weed
Don’t you wish you would
Be valued and treasured,
Encouraged to grow,
To extend your long leaves
Sun gold flowers to show?
Your leaves make good salads,
Green smoothies and juice,
Your flowers bright and yellow,
Sweet to taste; you produce
Vitamins and minerals
So many in abundance.
One day you’ll be treasured,
Recognised for your brilliance.

My girlfriend used to make dandelion wine. It tasted of…dandelions. Bitter.

Love dandelion greens in my smoothies, and a friend got me hooked on Swiss chard. Funny how I eat all the things my dad forced us to eat as kids, but he thinks it’s weird and unhealthy now…

my neighbors are getting bent out of shape because there are dandelions and other “wild flowers” growing in my front yard—-I keep telling them I like the wild look and the flowers……sigh….

I was just admiring our dandelions as they opened their golden petals to greet the sun on Sunday. Dandelions are much maligned and definitely deserve an ode in their praise (nettles too!) 🙂

I always liked dandelions as a child and couldn’t understand how they were weeds when they had pretty flowers!
