No matter how much suburbanites hate dandelions in their lawns, anyone with any aesthetic sense must grudgingly admit that the common dandelion is one of our most perfectly beautiful flowers.
If it lived up to its name, it would be priceless. Heal-all grows at the edge of the woods, or in your lawn, or anywhere else it can find space. It’s a very common weed, but surprisingly beautiful close up. This specimen grew in Bird Park in Mount Lebanon.
A beautiful vine prized in gardens, but only where it has room to take over. It can form a dense canopy, and in the late summer it bursts into thousands of white flowers, looking for all the world like a misplaced snowdrift.
