Dandy Like a Dandelion

Most people disregard dandelions as annoying "weeds" that blemish a pristine lawn.

These people couldn't be more wrong.

The usefulness of the dandelion is almost limitless and spans from medicinal to culinary. Many don't recognize the true value of the dandelion, but those that take the time to get to know the dandelion - not for the annoying weed that it appears, but for the amazing plant that it is - will be amazed by the worth and treasure that the dandelion has to offer.

 The dandelion is a beautiful and tenacious flower. The dandelion may look unassuming, but in fact the dandelion is amazingly resilient. The dandelion can persevere in harsh weather conditions and will grow against all odds. When faced with barriers, the dandelion will find the smallest cracks and push through in order to flourish and shine. Militant garden owners will pull and spray and cut down the dandelion, cursing it’s strength and perseverance to continue to grow and bounce back no matter how many times someone tries to cut it down.

The dandelion will thrive despite adversity and I think that's a pretty admirable quality, don't you?

I have met many dandelions in my life, one of them just might be you!
