I agree with you. Trefoil and many other lawn components look better

+1. I like daisies, buttercups and clover and random other things -
especially when they pop up to flower once in a while.

I don't like dandelions or buttercups in my lawn at all or too many
daisies, but I will let any other low growing flowering plant survive so
long as it isn't too invasive. Monoculture looks too boring.

I have had a few highly coloured Bellis cultivars seed themselves into
the lawn from time to time and I try to keep them going.

I do not like the big flat broadleafed weeds though - I spot blast those
with Verdona selective spray which seems to dispatch them without doing
much damage to the things I do like.

Dandelions come out very satisfyingly with a 12" screwdrive down the tap
root and a sharp lever action.
