Dandy-lion

Something about early spring dandelions—they look almost pretty…but then, by late summer, they get a weedy, stalker cast….

No lion* at all, though….

* “Dandelion” is corruption of medieval Latin dens leonis “lion’s tooth,” referring to the outline of the leaves and not to the blooms.

    My Uncle Bud made Dandelion Wine but I never got a chance to taste it. Always wondered what it would taste like.
