I’m with you on this one. I’ve nothing against the European dandelion at all — it is a pretty thing, and I made innumerable bouquets for my mother from them when I was a kid. But today? I love our native Texas dandelion, and “perfect” lawns bore me to tears. Wonderful haiku, and a nice smile for a rainy (!) morning.
Interesting, Dandy Lion never occurred to me. I always think Dan de Lion as if it’s French. Dan de Lion is Dan of the Lion if I remember my school days French correctly.
Sounds about right. God forbid we allow native plants to grow in our yards.
Yes, we must all be boringly the same! 🙂
Wonderful. I think the little bug is a frog hopper, but not 100percent on that.
Wrong! 🙂
Oh tell me tell me, what is it?
It’s a Spotted Ladybug (Spotted Lady Beetle). 🙂

Thank you, Linda! 🙂
Our internet is working, for now, but is very finicky. Still waiting on the big repair.
I much prefer a lawn with dandelions in it, or daisies etc 🙂
Yes, Scifi, i agree! 🙂
Sameness is a dull disease! 🙂

One was just playing around with words. 🙂
Mother Nature did not intend dandelions to be snuffed out by poison, but instead to brighten the blah, not-quite-colorful-yet Spring landscape.
Yes, otherwise they wouldn’t grow so well! 🙂
I could be proud of my dandelions – they sure are bloomers!

The description “dull lawnminds” is cool. 🙂
