To many a dandelion is a weed..for me they will always be a potential wish disguised as a beautiful yellow flower.

New growth, first stage of a dandelion

Dandelion < Middle French, tooth of a lion, as seen by the toothed leaves

The closing of the flower to go into its seed stage

Different stages all occur at the same time

A Spring Azure butterfly rest among the dandelions

Soon to be a field of wishes
