I like dandelions….. the flowers are attractive, you can eat the young leaves and the roots can be ground to make a beverage. Be careful, though, as the roots are often used as a diuretic.
It waz my job to pick the dandylions for our ‘spring cleanout’ as designated by our mother. If there ever waz a cure for ‘whatever,’ it waz having a ‘herbalist’ for a mother. Thurwort tea waz the WORST ! "DRINK IT!! It’s good for you !!"

And that dandelions are not endemic to North America. They were brought over as both a food source and as a medical herb.

Early dandelions greens are good for salads folks.
