Blue Sailor
In the spring, you can gather young dandelion leaves to eat in salads. Or you can cook them as greens. Some people take the flowers to make wine but you can also make a kind of syrup with them or use the petals in baking. The roots are dried to make a healthy tea. They can also be roasted for “coffee” – the same as chicory!
Beautiful butterfly on bloom.
It’s well camouflaged though, isn’t it?
Yes indeed, survival in nature at its finest.
