"What's this?" I asked the Lady Friend. "Canada hawkweed perhaps?" "Looks like a dandelion to me," she replied. Couldn't be, I thought. The stalk was a good three feet high. So I went back to the driveway and had another look. Yep, the leaves at ground level bespoke the ubiquitous dandelion of our front lawns, but it was competing -- successfully -- with tall grass for the sun. Pest though it may be, it's still a pretty flower close up.
