The humble Dandelion

Although it is disliked by many, particularly gardeners, I think the dandelion is quite a pretty flower. I must admit, this said, I do not like them in my garden because they spread so easily and are hard to get rid of. Even when sprayed with weed killer they still manage to seed and re-grow.

Nice shot

Beautiful close-up - dandelions are great for photos - not so great for the yard.

Beautiful colour and detail.

How can anything so neat be unwanted? I like the little creature on the flower.

Beautiful capture complete with tiny critter :)

Beautifully captured. My rabbit would gladly visit and help keep the numbers down by devouring them!

[Pat Knowles]

Yes a funny weed, pretty flower but no one wants them...they breed a bit too easily perhaps!

I keep them out of my gardens (which is a bit never-ending) but am happy to have them in the paddocks because they are such an important plant
They can be darn hard to work out gardens tho

[Anja]

When you look at them closely, they're beautiful

[Ann Williams]

So many little petals on this bright weed. Super capture of them and the colour. Like you, I prefer them out of the garden.

Beautiful close up.

@bkbinthecity @milaniet @tonydebont @mcwily @gaylewood @peterlgrave @hermann @cmp @happypat @koalagardens @stiggle @flowerfairyann @pyrrhula Thank you all for taking the time to comment on my project. They do say that a weed is only a wild flower growing where you don't want it.

I think they are pretty too. I love when there are fields of them (although I so pull them out of my grass)!
