...the Sock Speaks...
Make Mine Yellow

Ah - to enjoy a flower in the Spring - I walk to the bus stop these days just drinking it in. The green, the petals, the scent - it is all around us - is this not the most glorious time of the year?

The lilacs promise; the dandelions wave.

Dent de lion?

They indeed are everywhere - and one would be hard-pressed to not call them the most prolific Wildflower of the Plains, non?

They control erosion, re-mineralize the soil and offer food to the animal species. Just like any other W.E.E.D.

Sock says they make a rather nice couch as well...

"What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Feral or Floral? the L.A. Times weighs in...

BTW: "...If you have been told that even a fragment of a root will regenerate, the good news is: It won't, says Nesom. "Hit it below the top of the root or the growing point," he says, "and you've got it.""
