Even the lowly dandelion makes a fabulous banner!
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

I love this! I can't help but smile when I see dandelions -- even when they're polka-dotting my gardens and yard.

The dandelion banner is fun!

Live for the Love of it.
Dandelions always make me think of Ray Bradbury's "Dandelion Wine."

"The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered."

Has anybody tried (or made) dandelion wine?
