Dandelions leaves and flowers are edible, often eaten in salads or
converted into wine, and are one of the first flowers to begin
attracting pollinators, but they are also considered an ugly weed by most. The
trick to getting rid of them is to pull the plants early, before they
have had a chance to fully develop their root system. Once they flower,
you will likely have to dig deep to pull the plant and if you’ve missed
any of the roots, a new plant will grow in its place.

I like this. A little boy, attracted to the brilliance of dandelions used to bring me bouquets of them, much to my delight. so sad when his Dad told him they were evil weeds. Perception is everything!
