Dandelion

I know some people hate dandies and pull them up or pour weed killer over them, but they're a vital source of food in early spring for our pollinators... I wish more people would let their gardens get a little bit wild!
And they are pretty!

Also loved by rabbits, my old rabbit adored them! A treat for him. Lovely bright yellow colour

I love dandelions, they are such bright, cheerful flowers and they look great when they're allowed to grow along the roadside.

They are also edible, both the leaves and the flowers, they make for something different in the salad. However don't eat too many, they can act as diuretics, hence another name of " Wet the Beds", for them.

Nice shot and I agree - love the colour they bring to the fields around!

lovely detailed shot. They do say a flower only becomes a weed when it grows somewhere you don't want it to grow.

Pretty closeup, and I never thought about them being valuable in that way before.
