Before a strong breeze sent the seeds from this mighty, much maligned dandelion group, I endeavored to take a family portrait of them this very afternoon in order to save the intricate loveliness of them for posterity. The definition "weed" is in the eye of the beholder, I've always thought, for I think that the dandelion's under-appreciated beauty outranks many a flower blossom, at the very least, many that I have seen in my comings and goings out and about in nature. I say long live the mighty fine dandelion, and to hell with manicured lawns! But that's just me.

AHA, but which is FINE and which is DANDY? LOL.
For the most part, carnations express love, fascination, and distinction.
I love the drama here created by the crinkly edges and all the frilly detail in those 'feathered' beauties... Antique?
It is the Carnation, very fragrant...
In the Victorian language of flowers, it symbolises gallantry.
Light red carnations represent admiration, while dark red denote deep love and affection.
Purple carnations indicate capriciousness. In France, it is a traditional funeral flower, given in condolence for the death of a loved one.
In France and Francophone cultures, carnations symbolise misfortune and bad luck.
Have a gentle day and thank you for viewing, Magda (*_*)

Beautiful dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), in full bloom, the flower head composed of numerous small florets. This dreaded weed can be so beautiful ... beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
The name dandelion comes from the French, dents de lion, which means “teeth of the lion,” and refers to the jagged edges on the leaves of the dandelion plant. (Source Naturewatch.ca)
I'm not sure how this Goat's Beard came to be in my garden, maybe dropped by a bird or blown in on the wind but it wasn't until the seed head appeared that I realised how closely related to a dandelion they must be.
Up close and personal with some Dandelion seed heads.
I appreciate the offers but please ***NO INVITES OR GROUP ICONS***
