Tooth of the Lion

Some say the name for this came from the French for tooth of the lion....dent de lion. A romantic notion for a commonplace flower. I really wanted to shoot the ones that had already gone to seed but since yellow is the color of the day this is my offering. I will have to wait a while now to get the puffy ones because I mowed right after I took this and they are all gone.

Fabulous

Interesting to find out why this name was given to the common flower. I imagine that a lions tooth might be as rare as 'hens' teeth"!

[Lin]

Love your pov! Fav for me.

[Tunia McClure]

You make this weed look so pretty but I spent some time today digging them up.

Well, the one thing about Dandelions is that if you don't get the root, you know they'll be back! Good shot!

[Henri Russell]

Such a beautiful lawn pest.

[Lisa Poland]

Beautiful! Gorgeous POV! This would be perfect for EOTB.

[Chris Johnson]

That's some interesting information! Thanks for the info and for this gorgeous photo of the tooth of a lion. :)

[Gillian]

I like the pov and of course the lovely yellow.

[Diane]

Nice detail!

[Darlene]

What a great closeup shot, Katy. Love all the detail. I grew up with these in our yard but keep them away now. Too bad though, my loss. FAV
