Somewhere along the line someone decided that a dandelion was a weed. Maybe because they're so prolific? Although Johnny-Jump-Ups spread just as easily, and I don't think anyone has placed them in the lawn-pest catagory. I think perhaps the dandelion is getting a bad rap. When you get down close and really look at them, they're quite stunning! And a broad field full of them, all in bloom, is truly beautiful.
These are an odd orange variety that I ran across last summer. Of course, you can't tell that in a blue ink drawing! Someday I may be brave enough to try to ink some dandelions going to seed. Now THAT would be a challenge!
