Happy #Dandelion appreciation day!
Did you know that the name comes from the French 'dent du lion', which means tooth of the lion. This refers to the jagged and pointy leaf and not the flower.
I've shown you mine, now go out and find one and show me yours.
While I'm being a dandelion evangelist - a dandevangelist, if you will - it seems appropriate to share my very detailed post about correctly identifying dandelion. We all THINK we know them, but there are some lookalikes who aren't as beneficial to ingest. So here you go: https://pnwmichelle.com/2019/07/08/do-you-know-dandelion/ #dandelion #plantid

April is my birth month, and around here is also the month when dandelions are the most vibrant and full of blooms. So get ready ... I might just bombard you with dandy facts every day, and you can't be mean to me about it because IT'S MY BIRTHDAY MONTH.
So, first fact: all parts of the humble dandelion are edible and highly beneficial. Yes even the stems. Even the roots. Even those hella bitter late summer leaves. They might be an acquired taste, but they are free food and medicine that can be found in soooooo many places. This is one reason I love them so much. #bloomscrolling #dandelion

No Taylor Swift.
No Marvin Gaye.

No fools.
Just a lovely Common Carder #bumblebee on a vital #dandelion flower.

This plant stressing bee behaviour may be a ‘tough love’ adaptation as #climate breakdown brings bees out of hibernation earlier.
If no food is available #bees die, pollination suffers and plants disappear too.
