Common Dandelion

Taraxacum officinale - Perennial. It is a weed in lawns and flowerbeds, but it can also be a cultivated edible-leaf crop. We don't cultivate these but we get them never the less. Bernice tries to discourage (eradicate) but thousands of seeds arrive on the air currents. I don't understand why God made mosquitoes either even though I don't question why. This one will be gone soon as Bernice sees it. But look at the blossom and even Solomon was not arrayed such as it. Nonnative.
