Field Notes

Habitat:

all over my yard after having many cubic yards of soil delivered from who knows where!

Notes:

I was at a carnivorous plants botanical class once and made an off color quip about dandelions. The woman said, "They are beautiful", which is when it hit me, yes they are. And look at those tiny flowerlets in the flower head! SOO DELICATE AND FINE! They are of course edible too for all you "Preppers after the Apocalypse"!
