“Hardy vigorous perennial forming neat rosettes of leaves. Produces masses of bright yellow flowers in spring, followed by attractive seed-heads. Good source of nectar and pollen for insects early in the year. Leaves can even be forced as an unusual salad crop. Easy to raise from seed.”

The sun isn't always strong enough to warm our lives, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to catch every single ray that life offers.
Tech detail: Photo taken with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I've taken similar ones with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Some call it weed, for me it is one of my favorite wildflowers in spring - dandelions. I love the bright yellow flowers and the leaves are a delicious and healthy salad.
My first dandelion cordage! I have been harvesting and drying spent dandelion stems over the last weeks, and those first ones had dried already. Aren‘t they pretty? I love the different colours in the stems, from violet to green. They will probably all fade to light brown, but that‘s ok. #cordage#dandelion#NaturalFibers
