These may look like weeds to you, but to bees and small children they're REALLY pretty. Who hasn't given a bouquet of dandelions to their mom? When he was little, my grandson, Jasper, used to just pick off the yellow heads and hand them to me proudly. I suspect he's picking longer stems these days. (Do they even have dandelions in Florida?) Our backyard just hums with bees. In a few weeks the whole back yard will be full of wild flowers. But until then, the dandelions are the best treat we can offer the pollinators. Now, the Creeping Charlie is a different matter. Good thing it's pretty.
