Dandelions

Dandelions start to blossom very early in the spring. Some of the leaves stay green all winter. When warm weather comes flowers peep from the center of the leaves. The flowers are yellow and look very pretty in the green grass. At night the flowers close up tight and do not open until the sun is up. If the day is cloudy and rainy the flowers do not open at all but stay asleep all day. Leaves of the dandelion are often stewed and eaten as greens.
