The humble dandelion. From your garden to almost the ends of the earth this small but conspicuous plant flourishes. Gardeners do not appreciate its presence, considering it a weed, even though its flowering usually indicates the beginning of the honey bee season and could be seen as a welcome sign.
Its simplistic looking structure hides a few surprising secrets and the cultural resonance of the dandelion, especially in Europe, is strong. Here is a short but sincere homage to one of the small wonders of our botanical world.
