Dandy Lions

Of course they are the curse of every gardener, but they are a clever plant, they can grow almost anywhere. Tenacity is admired elsewhere. The flowers are also rather beautiful, even if they do turn into deadly seed pods. I remember years ago, driving from Kilmarnock to Ayr. There was a straight downhill section of dual carriageway where the central reservation was a blaze of yellow. It almost took your breath away. Dandilions. Nae a' bad.
