I had a precious rosebud within my garden fair.
Everyday I watched it and gave it tenderest care!
It grew in grace and beauty till all who saw admired,
and of its exhaltation. Beholders never tired!

“The miracles of nature do not seem miracles because they are so common. If no one had ever seen a flower, even a dandelion would be the most startling event in the world.”

“Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered.”
– Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“Oh, hardy flower, disdained as weed,
Despised for head of feathery seed,
Your unsung virtues rate a ballad,
Choice roots for wine, crisp leaves for salad.”
– Betty Gay, “Dandelion�”
