Description

Some think of the dandelion as an invasive pest in their yard and garden, but there's no denying the beauty of their bright and sunny blossoms! I had to lay down on my concrete patio to photography this little beauty which was blooming at the edge of one of my flower beds. I loved the contrast of color and texture it offered next to the purple ground cover. A little reminder to spread a bit of sunshine, wherever you go!

Taraxacum is the large genus to which the dandelion flower belongs. They are herbaceous and perennial plants that grow very well in temperate climates. They also reproduce quickly and effectively, so it is possible to cultivate plenty of dandelions at the same time. Interestingly, dandelion translates into “lion’s tooth” in French.

Dandelion is low in calories and rich in carbohydrates and fiber. It contains vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and vitamin K. The minerals in it include iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. Despite the health benefits of dandelions, they are more popular as ornamental flowering plants than as medicine, because the flowers look brilliant and are frequently seen in gardens and parks.
