in the eye of the beholder

What we call a weed and what we call a flower is purely arbitrary. I have heard it said that a weed is simply a plant growing in the wrong location. So, tell me, is dandelion a weed or a flower in your book? It’s a flower to me. And an edible green to my husband and son. So, let me ask that again: weed? flower? or food?

common dandelion (T. officinale)

  • Old Lady Gardener says:

    Flower, food, and delightful! These seedheads really had to reach to get high enough to catch the wind, look at the length of those stems!
