On a recent drive along some of the gravel backroads south east of the city, I passed someone's acreage and the ground was a carpet of brilliant yellow Dandelions. People seem to either like or dislike these glorious flowers - guess I'm one of those who find them beautiful : )

"Taraxacum officinale is considered a weedy species, especially in lawns and along roadsides, but it is sometimes used as a medical herb and in food preparation. As a nearly cosmopolitan weed, Dandelion is best known for its yellow flower heads, that turn into round balls of silver tufted fruits, that blow away on the wind."

"The name dandelion comes from the French, dents de lion, which means “teeth of the lion,” and refers to the jagged edges on the leaves of the dandelion plant."
