So much fluff in one little dandelion.

in #macro9 years ago

I always like them. Little yellow sunshine that pop in spring all over the place.
And after a few days they turn into those fluffy white pompoms. Even prettier!

Most people try to get rid of them from their gardens and laws.
But why?
Let them be.

Those flowers are the first food for the bees in the spring! 🌻🙌✌️🐝,Great shots!

Yes they are :D And bees love them!
Thanks a lot :)

i don't know why , some people use it as medicine the root part others use the leafs for salad. voted,shared and resteemed :)

Beautiful shots! So majestic. You can roast the root and make a good coffee alternative. Also you can make dandelion jelly or wine from the flowers. It's one of the first foods for the bees each year too so all the more reason to let them bloom instead of mow them. :)

It is meant to be good for you. And each part of the plant has different properties. The flowers are good for tea or deep frying in tempura :)
Fully edible weed!
Thanks, thanks and thanks :)

nice shots

Thanks very much :)

Awww. I loved these as a kid. I used to pick them blow on them and make a wish.... then a few weeks later new ones popped up. I have seen them in purple too,

Whaaa? You have seem the purple??
I used to blow the fluff too :D

yes I have purple ones in Florida, USA

Never seen a purple one. I thought they are only yellow.

I have a photo somewhere I will post when I find it and tag you!

Okay, awesome!
I am not sure how the tagging here works though. I don't have any notifications here when someone tags me.

me neither but my desktop notifications tell me.. I can just PM you on FB?

Yes they do if I am at the pc. But I miss some of them and then I find them by accident.... from few days ago :p
Sure! :D
