I have never seen as many dandelions that there is this year, must have
been an ideal year for the last year. I must say they look very attractive
when they are that thick on the ground. Is the proliferation just this area
or generally everywhere?

Wish we could do them like this

Its spectacular! Sonchus? Have you grown it at home?

No but I am going to try!

Remember your friends if you get any seed! ;-) I think it looks
terrific and a real eyecatcher.

They were enormous, I roped a rather reluctant Liz in for scale!

No seed though as they had only just started flowering, but I know someone
who is growing it in his garden down here and he apparently has some spare
so if I am as successful as him I should be able to oblige

At least she's not battling through cobwebs for you in this instance!
Interesting plant that wasn't apparent when we were there. But I think
we were there in September, so either too early or too late, perhaps.
