While I'm being a dandelion evangelist - a dandevangelist, if you will - it seems appropriate to share my very detailed post about correctly identifying dandelion. We all THINK we know them, but there are some lookalikes who aren't as beneficial to ingest. So here you go: pnwmichelle.com/2019/07/08/do- #dandelion #plantid

dandelions in green grass
Michelle Simkins · Do You Know Dandelion?I’ve been reading – and talking – a lot about plant blindness lately, and how sad it is how many adults can’t even identify more than five plants growing in their neighborhood. The impl…

April is my birth month, and around here is also the month when dandelions are the most vibrant and full of blooms. So get ready ... I might just bombard you with dandy facts every day, and you can't be mean to me about it because IT'S MY BIRTHDAY MONTH. 😆 😉

So, first fact: all parts of the humble dandelion are edible and highly beneficial. Yes even the stems. Even the roots. Even those hella bitter late summer leaves. They might be an acquired taste, but they are free food and medicine that can be found in soooooo many places. This is one reason I love them so much. #bloomscrolling #dandelion

Okay, okay…here’s the genuine bee fact for today.
No Taylor Swift.
No Marvin Gaye.
No trickery.
No fools.
Just a lovely Common Carder #bumblebee on a vital #dandelion flower.
Go easy folks.

This plant stressing bee behaviour may be a ‘tough love’ adaptation as #climate breakdown brings bees out of hibernation earlier.
If no food is available #bees die, pollination suffers and plants disappear too.☹️

I put this dandelion light up for sale! It’s the last one available, as the others have already been reserved. I’m offering a 25% discount because it flickers a little when touched or moved, but it generally stays steady when left in place.
I could have destroyed it, but it’s still a beautiful light. So, I offer anything with small defects at a discount instead.

Hi everyone, STILL working on new art. I will be posting less frequently for just a bit, as I finish up and add to my online shop on REDBUBBLE. Thank you for all of your continued likes, follows and comments, and your patience! It is greatly appreciated. :-) :-)

This is the third in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into the deep colors of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

I'm reposting everything from my old Instagram, to keep my archive and have a record of my work's development. I'm adding commentary below the original text.

This is from 20 Februari 2018
Close-up of "Taraxacum laneum" (Followed by a ton of hashtags which I'll omit now)

(Continued from last post) The funny thing is, though, that even though all of this seems very deep and meaningful, what I really mean to say is that art is alive. And living things are often very down-to-earth and practical—they have to be, in order to survive.
Like a candle lit at Mary's feet: while it’s just a candle emitting fumes and posing a fire hazard, it is also a visual representation of a prayer. And it -is- a prayer. That’s how symbolism works—it’s not just about what it represents, but about being the thing it symbolizes. So, while there’s meaning and intention in this artwork, it’s also just a lamp, with a power cord and an LED that won’t last forever. Very prosaic.

Three finished dandelion lights—two for a private order, and one that will be in my shop soon. (levendlichtje.etsy.com)

Each light features a single needle-felted dandelion clock (what a strange term—why “clock”?) with an illuminated center. Stalks of light extend outward toward the rim of the flower head. It works as an elegant centerpiece both on and off.
