If you want to show the flower of the day and have none, because the flower seson is finished and it is Autumn, you make the most of what you have. Unfortunately this is all I have at the moment. Wheeling along the path at the side of the railway tracks I saw this lonely dandelion seed head hoping to survive to spread its seeds for the next year. At least I took a photo of its last days.
FOTD 16th November 2021: Dandelion
Is dandelion grown as a vegetable there? It is such a weed here that I never bothered to grow it. Besides, not many like the flavor. It is almost never available from the supermarket.

They grow everywhere unfortunately, but are often in wild meadows. I believe you can eat their leaves in a salary, but only the very new leaves

? I thought that dandelion was commonly eaten in English cuisine. I know that the English get blamed for importing them here, just like the French get blamed for importing brown snails.

It is done, but my family never ate them. I think they have become more popular today

Last weekend I pulled out a GIANT dandelion under my bench, completely on stones but the tiniest teeny weeny space between the blocks – and that’s where that ‘Söiblueme’ decided to grow, w/o water, no sun, no love – but strong like an ox. So strong I could pull it out, I just broke it off above the ground – it will grow again, even stronger – next spring

Now that is called the survival of the fittest. Climate change is not the problem. One day the dandelions will take over

I aodre dandlions in all phases of their lives and am always happy to see them. I think they are so very clever when they flower at the height of an inch in areas that mow–they learn to be smarter than the lawn people!

Sometimes too smart when they begin to take over
