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.
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!) 🙂
