Dandelions

Dandelions are now coming into bloom (it’s the end of April). Dandelions are a wildflower that blooms early. it’s an annual, and dies every November. if you plant them, you’ll have to plant them every year. 
although the dandelions have a bad rep, these are vital flowers. Many people don’t like them in their lawns. These flowers are just misunderstood. Dandelions are crucial in the spring to bumble bees and honeybees. They are usually their first big meal or job for the year. Without dandelions, these bees would be at risk. 2ndly, dandelions are nitrogen fixers. I bet you also didn’t know, because the dandelions deep roots, they can bring up nutrients from deeper in the ground and make it available to other plants.
Dandelions are my favorite spring flowers. Their perfect symmetry and abundance of petals have always looked inviting. While they’re not highly fragrent, they do have a dim fragrance. Dandelions will bloom from April till June, but also occasionally have a few blooms through the summer months. They have big white seeds that have a fluffy top, similar to a sycamore, that allows it to fly long distances. These flowers have earned the title, the wishing well flowers, as a kid, many of my peers, teachers, and just people in general would make a wish and blow the seeds off. If all the seeds blrw off, you gain your wish. I’m not sure how this started, but this defiantly helps the dandelions spread.
