I recently learned from a botanist that there are native dandelions on this continent. They are in the Arctic regions of Canada and Alaska and only produce two small flowers apiece. The remarkable thing about dandelions is that they are self pollinating. I asked why they still had nectar. “It is a gift for the bees.”

Many gardeners enjoy the challenge of growing flowers. Dandelions are NOT a challenge!

Dandelions were brought here as a cheap and easy to grow food source. Unless you use a lot of chemicals on your lawn: Bon Appetit

One the ways dandelions get everywhere is when people give up and their yards become seeding havens.

if you rinse the leaves before you eat them, they’re nice and sweet.
