My 2 year old loves dandelion clocks, I don’t know if it’s just a Scottish thing but the seeds are called fairies here. I normally leave them for the bees but might have to pull up some of them because they’re becoming a bit too prolific.

If we could all just let them flower once properly and then seed before starting mowing there would be so much more life!

Love the dandelions – spring alpine pastures (spellchecker wants pastries!!) glowing golden just because of these beautiful “weeds”.
