Would'a had more, but they make great raccoon toys, I find.

Even my oreo and a leeetle division decided to get in on the act.

My last count was 286 and I'm not counting them again!

Aww, pretty please

286....i don't think i've even seen 286 dandelions flowering

 

[Brokken]

Fred: I may have as many but stopped counting a while ago. Still, I'm sure I'll get some attrition - from bugs, heat and the weed-wacking tails of my dogs.

Anyhow, here are some progression pics from my bogs:

 

[blokeman]

Do any other flowers in the plant kingdom use umbrella shaped styles?

LOL I showed my parents the flava flava flowers and they really liked them, but then I told 'em to smell them, hehehehe. They said they'd never seen flowers like those before.

 

[cp-connection]

Fancy!

 

[Clue]

In the last picture, I see a rosea flower.
