So pretty. Such a huge pain in my butt.
They are pretty, though . . .
LOL. These suckers and sand are my nemesis right now.
Kate – and now that I have a nice photo of one, they can all disappear in a puff of smoke as far as I am concerned!
Amy – you can add nut grass to that list for me – it got a foothold in part of my biggest flowerbed last year and it seems like I spend my whol elife trying to get rid of it now.
And what about those other things blowing all over the place these days? I think they come from some tree…
Ugh MPM – around here that would be cottonwood pollen. It is everywhere right now. Non stop sneezing…
Such a paradox! They are pretty and as a kid I loved blowing them. Now I wonder what my dad thought when he saw me blowing those all over the yard!
I have the sudden urge to take a deep breath and blow!
You know your grandchildren need blowies at grandma’s for life to be complete!!!!
They are pretty to take pictures of!! My challenge is to get one blowing in the wind! Otherwise I don’t like them either. In my grass I mean….
Are blowies dead dandlalions? I’ve always thought so but the other day my friend told me otherwise. Just wondering :) Cool picture!!
Gina – usually they are, but there are couple of other flowers that get that same bunch of fluff on them – one is called coltsfoot.
dewsdrops, Janis, CM & Trisha – just don’t blow on them in my yard!
Thanks!! I knew you were the right person to ask :)
Anytime Gina – sadly, I am an expert on dandelions this time of year. You can the greens when they are young and make wine from the flowers. Neither of which we do – we prefer to just complain about them ;)
