I used to be a professional gardener, and the sight of a dandelion gone to seed sent shivers up my spine. But it is a losing battle to fight these persistent weeds, and I have given up trying to eradicate them from my precious lawn. Before mowing them down every spring (and trying not to think about how the mower fans the seeds into the air so they can resettle all over my lawn to grow in even MORE areas), I photograph them because they are stunningly beautiful. Just not on my lawn!
