Dandelions
I really love dandelions. Partly because they’re quite simply beautiful, but also because they have other advantages. In the past they were used for medicinal purposes. Guinea pigs and rabbits love to eat them – though they shouldn’t have too much, because it can give them red urine. Finally, it’s a protest against neighbours and the establishment. The last flower is similar to dandelions but smaller. I don’t know their name in either English or Latin. I really like that one too.
