    Dandelion SAP is used for rubber, not “dandelions”.

    So you could have your wine and your tires too.

    During WW II in the US the plan was to use milkweed (Probably the sap) to make rubber. Sap does have many uses, my favorite is maple syrup !

    That blinker looks a little bit like Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones to me.

    dandelion greens are also tasty as a cooked green. A bit bitter, but lots of vitamins and good stuff. That’s how they got to the US, brought over as seed for food. They’re not indigenous to the new world.

    The dandelions is also the official flower of Father’s Day…because the more it’s stepped on, the better it grows

    May be just an urban legend, but there was a story once about someone planting dandelions to harvest for possibly one of the above projects – and they didn’t grow worth a hoot!!!
