When is a wild flower a weed? And how about dandelions – wild flower or weed?
It’s not a weed when it explodes in shades of green, yellow and purple like this…
or makes sun-lit puffs in the wilderness…
Although perhaps when your next-door-neighbour’s yard looks like this. Mine does – I call this image ‘The Ghosts that Haunt Me’.
A friend of mine believes that a tea made of young dandelion leaves is good for liver detoxification, the roots do the same for the kidneys and the flower and seeds provide a good proportion of your daily vitamins.
And now for my painting inspired by dandelions and other beautiful wild flowers (or weeds depending on your interpretation!)
More wild flowers on Hey Jude’s Garden Challenge for May 2016.
I am not too concerned about some of these weeds…some look very pretty, like the one:t’s not a weed when it explodes in shades of green, yellow and purple like this…this one is very pretty.
