I was pulling Dandy Lions out of my lawn the other day. To be quite honest, I was somewhat ambivalent about the process. I know they are classified as a weed, but they aren’t that bad looking. I know my wife pays some pretty good money for stuff in our garden that isn’t half as attractive, but what do I know.
I remember as a child I thought they were a nice flower worthy of my mother. I don’t know how many times I would pick one and proudly present it to my mom. It always ended up in a small glass or Dixie cup on the kitchen window sill. She never once let on that it was a weed. This was your classic it’s the thought that counts situation.
I think I just figured out how to get this years Mother’s Day gift on the cheap. Don’t the rest of you go stealing my idea. We wouldn’t want there to be a great Dandy Lion shortage.
