Great :)
If we wold have them here, I would get them too for sure!
Know them as treats for various pets from when I grew up in Germany, for example the rabbits and birds (various kinds o parrots) loved them, and I ate them too once in a while :) Which is no that weird; think of "dandelion honey" (an old-fashioned syrup) or them from time to time served on top of a salad at a more fancier restaurant. Really miss them.

Whats amazing is all the health benefits they provide, esp the flowers! They are an excellent source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and calcium and provide antioxidant benefits. They also promote liver and kidney health. Glad my dragon likes them!

Licky absolutely loves dandelion flowers, too! They're fully in bloom now where I am, there's a park by my house that has a hill that is completely covered in them right now. I know they don't use pesticides on that side of the hill because it's in shadow and no one ever steps on that grass so it's completely overgrown, so whenever I take a walk there I collect some dandelion leaves and flowers for him.

When I see any in puffball mode (hopefully soon!) I'm going to collect the seeds because I want to start growing them in my garden so he can eat them more easily.

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
