According to Wikipedia, Taraxacum officinale, the Common Dandelion (often simply called "dandelion"), is a herbaceous perennial plant of the family Asteraceae (Compositae).
T. officinale is considered a weedy species, especially in lawns and along roadsides, but it is sometimes used as a medical herb and in food preparation. As a nearly cosmopolitan weed, Dandelion is best known for its yellow flower heads, that turn into round balls of silver tufted fruits, that blow away on the wind.
Bosh, they are neither dandy or lions...

in reference to the shape of the leaves...
IMO, dandelions add colour, splendour, and magic
to an otherwise ordinary lawn...

I did take some pix yesterday.
Lemme see if there's anything yellow.
If not, I'll squirt some mustard on a paper towel.
