This is one of my favorite flowers! Dandelions are a welcome color in the spring and they are a great source of both nectar and pollen for bees and other insects.
Most gardeners believe dandelion flowers are a nuisance weed and therefore it has to be removed from their green lawn.
If a gardener provides lots of flowers, more bees are in the garden and it generally means better pollination for fruit trees.
