I remember being a little startled when I first saw a Dandelion up here. There isn't, after all, a lawn to speak of within hundreds of kilometres of here.
I was even more surprised to learn that the Dandelion species that are up here probably are not one of the common introduced species seen in the south, but native species. Uluksan in the fall is one of the best places to find them, which is exactly where we found many this past weekend.
(And while unrelated to the rest of this post I couldn't resist this clump of Prickly Saxifrage and its patterns and colours).
Of course where there are Dandelions and children together two things are required: picking some for mom, and blowing Dandelion seeds everywhere.
