Dandelions are safe in the Singleton Sanctuary. They provide early pollen for the insects but they can also be delicious. The Latin name for "dandelion" is taraxicum officinale which apparently means "the official remedy for disorders." The world needs all of the dandelions that it can get! The dandelion has many health benefits which include being good for the liver, assisting with inflammation, alleviating kidney and bladder stones and as a poultice for boils. Dandelion greens are best in early spring. Fresh roots can be peeled, thinly sliced, and sautéed. I continue to learn a lot from art and nature. 

These dandy dandelions were from in front of the Singleton Studio.
