Dandelions? Really?

Recommended Posts

A dandelion is a WEED! And that's our 7th potted plant from the egg greenhouse? A WEED?

It doesn't really look like a dandilon to me...it looks like something else, but I failed botany, so don't ask me about flowers.

Well, if they hadn't named it Dandelion Pot maybe it would've fooled a few people...

But I must make the best of it... I guess there's always a weed or two in every garden and this little collection is no exception. Smile

I love them. My son gets them for me all the time and I do put them in vases and I love them.When I saw them it brought back the best memories...no complaints here( I also have tons and tons and tons of daffodils in my yard 40 acres)

best things in life are free and brought to us by our children Smile

The first one is what the second one looks like when they go to seed, both Dandelions!
Yes, I thought the same thing, "That's a weed!"
But yes, Gerber Daisies look similar to the PS "Dandelion" but in real life are way nicer!

Not sure what you guys mean with "weed"
As far as I know weed" is a green plant, illegal in many countries

Thanks, now I understand, and they are right, dandelions grow everywhere, my grandmother used to say that they were dangerous, that you could get blind if the powder of a dandelion got into your eye

Wow. I'm gone a few hours and this thread goes crazy!

Yes, those two pics are both dandelions.

And yes, 'weed' can also be interpreted to mean the illegal 'mariuana'.

And definitely yes, I love gerber daisies!

I also totally 'get' the sentimentality of a handful of dandelions picked fresh by a child and given to mommy. So sweet.

But for goodness sake, we're celebrating Easter here. Again, I say 'dandelions... really?'

You can make wine with Dandelions!

A weed (not the illegal plant) is any plant you don't want in your garden.
