Dandelion Seeds
Unloved but Beautiful



  Has ever any wildflower been more maligned than the dandelion? The scourge of lovers of pure green lawns, the dandelion spreads its seeds across Long Island, the United States as a whole, and, probably, the world. Furthermore, has any other flower had its own special killing instrument? Yes, the V-shaped dandelion killer is one the most common garden tools available.

Nevertheless . . . how beautiful the dandelion! Its bright yellow flowers are among the first of spring, and seen up close, its seed structure is a geodesic delight, as shown in the following photo.
