It's officially dandelion season! While I can understand how they're not the prettiest of weeds or how they can be a pain to people who prefer perfectly-manicured lawns; I've always had a soft spot for dandelions. Growing up watching Beauty and the Beast and Alice in Wonderland repeatedly, making necklaces out of the flowers, and rubbing the pollen on people I didn't like are just a few of the nostalgic memories that I associate with dandelions. As cliché as it may be, I even have a tattoo that represents a Helen Barron Bostwick poem that likens a dandelion's plumes blowing away to birds flying off to become more.
