We are familiar with the dandelion. In fact, each year homeowners spend millions of dollars to eradicate them in an effort to make their lawns perfect. However, it is a little-known fact that dandelions provide nesting material for ruby-throated hummingbirds.
Interesting fact, Terry!
It makes you think of dandelions in a whole new way–I am glad you liked it.
One more reason to leave some the dandelions alone. Thanks for the interesting article!
Diane,
Thank you very much.
Wow!! I don’t use herbicides but I have dug up the dandelions. Lately I let the flowers bloom for the nectar, then pluck the puffy heads off to limit dandelions. Won’t do that anymore. I am distancing myself from “perfect” suburban lawn.
