Get rid of the large swaths of green fucking grass, which completely useless when one cuts it down. Let the Dandy Lions grow like we do in Europe and plant more native flowers too.
Question from a yank: Is it ‘dandy lion’ or ‘dents-de-leon’?
He wrote it wrong. Its dandelion, and its pronounced in English just like you do, but dependent on the country, we have different words for it. In danish its “mælkebøtte”. Which means “milk bucket”. I think because of the white liquid they have inside. Its good for mosquito bites.
The whole plant is edible too but gets more bitter the older it gets. Especially delicious as a spring salad mix in.
I love eating dandelion heads when they first show up in the spring. Everybody thinks I’m nuts when I reach into someone’s yard and pop it right off the stem and eat it, but I genuinely like them.

In Dutch it’s “Paardenbloem” (horses’ flower).
I was always told that ‘dandelion’ is an Anglicization of the French name, “dents-de-léon”. But some English speakers spell it as “dandy lion” as in “A gentlemanly and well-dressed lion”
Ah so it’s more of a question about the origin of the word, and it seems you’re right about the lion’s teeth. People who say dandy lion probably misinterpreted the sound. But hey that’s how language evolves.
