Here on the west coast of British Columbia, my favourite flower came out in abundance. It is a wonderful plant that provides both pollen and nectar to bees when there is little else for them to forage on early spring. One day, this beautiful plant will be encouraged in lawn and gardens!

In this field, many dandelions provide an abundance of food for bees in early spring before apple blossoms appear (apple orchard in background). |
