Have you ever seen a dandelion?

Yes I have. Have you ever eaten dandelion greens? You should try them they are excellent and usually free.

All I have to do to see a dandelion is walk outside. They are all over my yard. I can't wait to kill those nasty weeds. My son loves them, though.

My 3 yr. old grandson came in the house today with a big grin. He was real proud, he said gramma I have a flower for you. He gave me a beautiful perfect looking dandelion. That was better then a rose.

I have some in my back yard right now, it is the first year that they every sprang up.

These things run rampant where I live. You can barely drive past yards without seeing hundreds of these little things. I think they're pretty but they do just do nothing but take over yards. I haven't seen any here yet but I'm sure some will pop up eventually.

I rather like them. the seed heads are pretty, and good as childhood time telling devices, the flowers bright and cheerful. the french name pissenlit is amusing (wet the bed), the leaves are good in salad, a bitterer version of rocket, and the roots make good coffee.

Yes, yes and thrice, yes! There are millions of dandelions around here... different types too. There are the shorter, large flowered ones, and the longer, small flowered ones, and at this time of year, there are lots of dandelion seeds floating on the summer breeze. I sure have seen a dandelion! Brightest Blessings, my friend. x

oh yes Iseen dandelions all the time. We have them all over here. People here call them weeds so we spray them with a weed killer so they die. They can take over your yard and kill your grass if you dont spray them. Some people dig them out. Digging them out takes a lot of work.

I think I have but where dandelions are found in our country is far from the city capital so I have to travel for 6hrs. just to see one.

I do have dandelions....and though most everyone sees them as a nuisance....I do not. They are the first flower most children pick to give to their mothers...how can anyone call them a weed?

I grew up on a farm in South Dakota and saw lots of dandelions. we used to eat the new fresh leaves as greens with a little vinegar on the hot dandelion greens they are good when young but get bitter when they are older and in bloom. the blooms are really' rather attractive even though they are weeds.

I certainly do have dandelions, and plenty of them! I love them. not only can you add the little leaves to salads, but my rabbits and chickens love them, and they brighten the place up with their lovely bright yellow flowers. I know many people regard them as a weed, but my garden is more a meadow than a garden, so wild flowers are welcome. Have you ever tried eating the roots? I understand that you scrub, then dry them. I think you can then grind them to make a sort of coffee substitute, a bit like you can with acorns. To be honest, it sounds like too much hassle to me. I'd rather make herbal teas instead!

Yes I have seen them and they are all over the place where I live. I see some of the little kids pick em and remember how I used to do that as a kid and give them to my foster mother. They look nice when they blend in w/ the green grass then they are gone when the grass is cut.

Ive seen loads and loads of them.But the thing is i never knew they were dandelions. But now i know....

I just got rid of some out the front in between the paving slabs on the drive pal , xx

I have seen dandelions throughout my life yes as they're very common in the UK. They're nice enough to look at but many people consider them to be like weeds - I've never been given a bunch of dandelions but I've had daisies picked for me or given flowers such as roses, carnations, lilies, etc. It's a shame that they're not more popular, thinking about it now, I feel quite sorry for the poor old dandelion to be considered by so many as almost a weed!

Now that is a true cultural difference, as having grown up rolling in the dandelions and loving those fluffy white fairy-like seed pods that the lawn maintenance folks so fear and dread, I never really thought that there are places in the world where dandelions are not indigenous. Maybe they are called something else! Here is a lovely shot of a child doing what children do when the pretty yellow dandelion blossom has gone to seed: http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/living-green/gfx/dandelions.jpg

GardenGerty_ Funny you should mention dandelions. I spent a number of hours yesterday with my elderly aunt as she pointed out every dandelion in her yard after I offered to help her with her lawn. I have dandelions alright, all the up into my fingernails and I'm still scraping out dirt!

Yes, we used to have some in my grandmother's back yard. I think she still does. I have never seen a colored dandelion, only the white ones..

I see them all the time. i have many many of them all over my yard. sometimes, i will kill them , but for the most part i dont mind them , When i was younger i used to pick them as flowers for my grandma.
