I like dandelions. Am I the only one that likes them?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Just a wildflower like many others but its perceived pernicious nature in terms of lawns and gardens makes it demonised

When I was wee they were called "pee the beds"

"Mary Queen of Scots got ha head chopped... OFF" and ping off the yellow head

Thanks Parmy

14. Dandelion seedheads always called ‘clocks’ – blow seeds off stem head to tell time, number of blows to clear all = time of day.

Its always 18 o clock for heavy smokers.

we used to say to a girl tell the time and hold up a full seeded dandy and when she inhaled we stuck it in her gob

I love dandelions and daisies in a lawn.
Reminds me of my younger days.
Buttercups for the butler test.
Wet the beds with dandelions and blowing the clock was the best.
Aaah we were all so innocent then.

We used to pick Rose buds and pelt them at each other, we called it, Bud wars.
