Dandelion bonsai


It was not until my adult retirement years that I began to understand that dandelions are perennials.  I have harvested some really deep-rooted ones in the loose soil of a backyard tomato patch (I even pondered entering one such plant into a state fair ag competition).  And it was not until yesterday that I discovered that they can be used for bonsai-type art.

I found enough other material online to be reassured that the image above isn't pure AI.  Whether it is true "bonsai" can be argued; you can read about such viewpoints at Reddit and via the Google AI.

  2. Very nutritious are dandelions. For me the difficulty is finding enough that the dog hasn't peed on.
