We had lots of these on our front lawn a few days ago, but then we mowed, and these are currently the only two left standing. In camera focus stack.

That seems like a reasonable bargain. I have been planting annuals and perennials for pollinators. Seeds are the slow way but somehow more satisfying. Dave

You can cut the weeds out if you have another garden. My kids in MN maintain a Butterfly garden that serves the purpose. Jim

These days you're supposed to let them bloom so pollinators can have food. I'm guessing "no mow May" isn't a thing in Arizona. Our lawn could use twice-a-week mowing about. The tall grass actually makes walking more difficult. Dave

Very nice capture. I remember those days of fighting the yellow beast. Jim

I’d have to trespass if I wanted to photograph dandelions since there are none in my lawn. I mow a minimum of twice a week during the spring when the rapid spring growth is on so even if there were any they wouldn’t survive. Paul
