"Dandy Lyonz" (dandeelions)

Ok, now im not sure if you are familiar with dandeelions, but there a sort of weed type plant that grows really all over the world. If you from the "hood" you know exactly what i'm talking bout. there the little plants that grows like right in the middle of the side between the cracks in the ground. Growing up where im from those are the only plants/flowers you can get with out paying for and growing them yourself. i remeber we would go to the park and those are mostly what would stick out above the grass, we would pick as many as we could and take it to school the next day for the 2nd grade crush. or if moms wasnt feeling to good that day she deserved so freshly hand picked flowers,



or if they looked like this the urban myth was make a wish if you blow off all the angel hairs your wish a come true. but if you ask any planter gardener flourist its a weed so get rid of it quik. well i looked into just a lil bit more and look what this lil ol weed found mainley in urban america or in dry spots over the world......
