When you work at a garden center and spend your days trying to remember all the cultivars and one day you're walking home and see a dandelion at your feet.

Dandelions are important early spring nectar sources for early season moths and butterflies. I leave them be. My gripe is with the tyrany of monoculture lawns. Very unnatural! I am trying to replace my lawn bit by bit with raised beds of various things. Eventually what's left I want to swap for other groundcovers that don't need mowing. That is my front yard, anyway. My back I have let become somewhat of a meadow. There is always something blooming there, which is intriguing.

I'm not that advanced yet. Maybe my next life.

When you try to call a Hibisucus a Bougainvilla (as has happened to me), you know it's time to quit...or at least back off...
