Dandelions!!!!!

[HeyWayne]

As you enter our village there is a little paddock tucked back from the road slightly - but still visible from the road.

I usually drive past as it's on a very twisty little section of road with blind corners and nowhere to stop/park.

However, I was out on the bike tonight having been to the plot to water and thought I'd stop and take a piccie of this little spot.

Now, see if you can count them...

That is fabulous, HW - all the dandelion clocks on my plot have been decapitated by the strimmer!

Very pretty but where are all those seeds gonna end up......

Very pretty but where are all those seeds gonna end up......

On my bladdy lawn - we live about half a mile from there.

T'other night it was like snow - though the little 'fairies' were smaller, so probably weren't dandelions.

I know high summer is here when the down from the lime trees is descending in clouds of fluff - how lovely!

[Scottishnewbie]

pity you didnt see them earlier or you could have made dandelion syrup for bean! i've just made a batch and my kids are loving it drizzled over ice cream/pancakes/waffles....

We're doomed...

Poole and Bournemouth councils have waited until all the dandelions have gone to seed before cutting the grass so there should be a few more zillion plants for everyone next year.

That's really pretty

Get your supplies of salt in .......

That's really pretty but I now have a massive urge to run through the middle of it and release the fairies

I noticed the verges on either side of one of the roads into our village was thick with sunny orange heads the other week but nothing like those - it looked really pretty. Far nicer than fag / crisp packets anywho!

I like dandelions so not to worried about spreading them - sorry!

[Madasafish]

My bees love dandelions... lots in the field and hedgerows...

[OllieMartin]

Looking at that picture made me want to run through that field with my arms out!



....and then spit all the seeds from my mouth!

[Patchninja]

Aaaah it's just nature!
