'Dents des lions'

Or dandelions in English. I quite like the French name though. Despite them being a weed they always make me smile - as long as they're not in my garden!
A busy day today with a christening to play fo this morning and a service for the St Neots bowls club 60th anniversary this afternoon.

I spent some of yesterday removing dandelion heads from our lawn….I was horrified to see so any seeds all around & thought from now on I must never let them seed ever again! Shame as they are pretty but they appear from nowhere!
Sounds a lovely day!

"Dents des lions" or "Dant-y-llew "(the tooth of the lion, in Welsh ) Pretty but as you say "not on my patch " -- so many around this year ! Sounds as you have had a busy day !

[Carole Sandford]

They are rather pretty & there are lots & lots of them around at the moment!

[Babs]

They look gorgeous as long as they are in someone else's garden.

I l ove to see bright dandelions in profusion but not in my back garden lawn, A lovely capture with great details.

I've always loved dandelions! They're not out yet in this part of the world, but I'm sure they're on their way (we do have them by now sometimes).

Very nice focus.

Lovely image.

Well they are so beautiful. We don't really get many even though our garden is scruffy and random. Possibly because we don't have a lawn.

Lovely shot of this bright beauties. Sounds as if you are going to have a very busy day.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Wonderful.

A lovely close-up shot - they really are attractive flowers. It's just such a shame that they spread so easily and efficiently!

The other name for them in French is "pissenlit", because of their diuretic properties apparently ('lit' is french for bed). Just looked-up a recipe for 'salade lyonnaise', for which the leaves are an essential ingredient, and I see that they use 'pissenlit' rather than 'dent-de-lion'. https://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette_salade-lyonnaise_21573.aspx

I agree, they make me smile as well.
