Drink deep, little friend. I leave these weeds around for you
@Cheeseness
My favorite flower, the dandelion. One of the first things to come up in spring in Alaska.
@jcmacomber I'd always been under the impression that they're invasive down here at this end of the world, but apparently we have two native and two introduced species!
@Cheeseness
Their distribution system is amazing, they have spread everywhere.
Amazing flowers and amazing plant.

@Cheeseness I've always wondered why these are considered weeds.

Just because there is no tangible benefit to us, that doesn't mean that it is not important to the ecosystem.

@ProfessorCode Until this morning, I was under the impression that they were an invasive plant clogging up local ecosystems. Turns out we've got two native species of dandelion that I wasn't previously aware of to compliment the two invasive species that grow here
@ProfessorCode But yeah, it's more than just being a plant I don't find pleasing (honestly, I don't have a lot of love for european honeybees being here either)
@Cheeseness That's definitely understandable. I am just opposed to the concept of a "weed" because it is extremely subjective in its traditional sense.
