Or as Author Unknown said, "Man is the only critter who feels the need to label things as flowers or weeds." You can see a list of beneficial weeds here and read about uses for the subject of today's Art Thursday in particular here.

Dandelions and lilacs

I may be in the minority, but I adore dandelions! Everything about them. The name. The jaunty, hardy yellow flower. The funny, airy and temporal puff ball. Their hardiness in spite of attacks by those that label them intruding weeds. The leaves are even edible and healthy for you.
ReplyDeleteMy husband, a photographer, has some gorgeous photos of the sun shining into the puffballs, making them glow.
And lastly: Joey, my girl Mini-Schnauzer, loves to pounce on the puffballs... and eat them!!
Would love to see Joey in action, Retta! :-)
