QUOTE: DREAM Big

A sure sign of spring is dandelions in bloom. This ubiquitous yellow flower seems to spring up overnight to create a cheerful floral display followed by billowy seed heads floating on long stalks above the ground. The word “dandelion” means “lion’s tooth,” probably a reference to its jagged leaves.

The flowers are followed by the distinctive globe-shaped seed heads. Each seed has a pappus, a feathery parachute of soft, white hairs that makes it easily carried by the wind.
