Ubiquitous indeed

Heh, don't malign the dandelion plant. They are food for bees and butterflies. The new greens make a nutritious salad for people; I remember as a child in rural Pennsylania picking the fresh greens for my grandmother to saute with a little butter -- they were great. And she also presented us with a bottle of dandelion wine made from the flowers. So, not only are XMarkers good people, but their emblem flower is good, too.

(Taraxacum officinale) If you want to look it up.

these folks seem to be a credible source, citing USDA,and they give a little nutritional info on dandelions.

They can have a little bit of a bitter taste from what I remember, though.

I better stay out of this thread.
