I think the 'hate' for dandelions come from living in towns and cities. The pressure to keep your lawns looking as good as your neighbours and don't dare let a parachuted seed land on their lawn. It is unfortunate. Love your pictures, your google information and your poem. Did you do the test for liking butter as well? As children, Mom would pick a dandelion and hold it up under our chins without touching us. If it reflected yellow on your skin, you liked butter. We believed it!Patsy Irene (Chillin' with Patsy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17023685247825134744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-6111333556969882402017-05-21T09:01:22.285-04:002017-05-21T09:01:22.285-04:00Love your dandelions, and apparently bumbles love ...Love your dandelions, and apparently bumbles love them too.kerrdelunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779897207670867347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-19225176206208349622017-05-21T02:01:33.410-04:002017-05-21T02:01:33.410-04:00Love the poem.
