That is one of the prettiest photos I've seen lately. I love Dandelions, and a few seem to come around on my lawn every Spring. I've never seen a field full of them though, isn't that something?
Kathy, There is one particular place I hope that I can get a picture of. Years ago, it was a 3-5 acres of densely packed dandelions, a flower to flower field.
Graham, In the 1940s, 1950s, dandelions were a frequently on the table where I grew up outside of Boston. They seemed to disappeared as I grew older. I think fewer home gardens, and the lawn chemical industry contributed to their faded popularity. We moved to the city when industrial development wiped away rural areas. Foraging for greens is unsafe in cities.

ReplyDeleteHave a good May weekend.

wow I have never see so many dandelions in one place-I love dandelions and save them when I can-when I am weeding
ReplyDeleteApparently dandelions were a very popular salad component in parts of the UK at one time.
ReplyDeleteSheri,
ReplyDeleteIn rural Vermont, unplowed fields can be covered in dandelions. It is an amazing sight.

that would be awesome to view
ReplyDeleteA pretty view!
ReplyDeleteDandelions haven’t appeared here yet! It won’t be long though.
ReplyDeleteA field of dandelions such as you've shown, is a beautiful sight! Too bad they are so maligned in our modern landscaping.
ReplyDeleteThe view on a sunny day is spectacular, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteWilliam,
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of dandelion fields in this rural county.
Marie,
ReplyDeleteSoon your blog will have wildflowers posted. :)
Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteIt is curious why such a healthy green is thought of as bad. I think it has to do with the rush to kill weeds for a beautiful lawn.
That is a beautiful Field of Dandelions :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
