Peter, this is one of the best dandelion photos I've ever seen. God does give purpose for everything.

Peter, this is very beautiful! Perfect focus and exposure. The only thing that distracts is the little bit of white on the right side of the flower... Amy

Beautiful shot of this flower, well framed by the weed. To drink I prefer the wine made of grapes, but my wife makes salad from the dandelion leafes. Very good for kidneys.
Cheers, Markus

Excellent colours and detail Peter. You framed the flower nicely with the green. Great portfolio - I think we share the same sentiment regarding creation. Kind regards.

Well those recipes are keepers - wonder if it tastes the same with ugly dandilions? Think I will upload the picture of the one I found this morning - think you will agree - just not the same brand (kinda like the difference between a Karly and Ripple)! Thanks for the recipes. Jan

Dandelion Wine #1
1 qt. dandelion blossoms
1 gal. hot water
3 1/2 lb. sugar
2 lemons, cut up
2 oranges, cut up
Pour hot water over dandelion blossoms.
Let stand for 24 hours.
Strain in a jelly bag.
Heat juice again and add sugar, lemons and oranges.
Reheat, then put in a stone jar.
Let ferment.
Skim everyday for 6 or 7 weeks. Then bottle.
Pick new dandelion blossoms, those on short stems, and rinse well in cool, lightly salted water.
Cut off the stem ends close to the flower heads, leaving only enough to hold the petals together, because the stems and greenery are bitter.
Roll the dandelion flowers in paper towels to blot up the excess moisture, then dip each one in a batter made of 1 egg, beaten, with 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
Drop the batter-coated blossoms into deep hot fat (375 degrees) and fry until lightly browned.
Drain on absorbent paper;
Sprinkle with more salt, if needed, and serve at once as a hot hors d'oeuvre.
Dandelion Wine #2
1 qt. dandelion blossoms
4 qt. water
1/2 c. tepid water
1 yeast cake
1 lb. seedless raisins
3 lb. (6 c.) sugar
1 lemon
1 orange
Measure a quart of the dandelion blossoms, but do not use any of the stems.
Put them into a large saucepan with the water and boil for 30 minutes.
Pour through a strainer, then strain through a cheesecloth into a large pan.
When cool, add the yeast cake, dissolved in the tepid water, raisins, sugar, lemon and orange, cut into small pieces (including the skins).
Stir it everyday for 2 weeks, then strain and let settle for a day.
Now strain carefully through cheesecloth until clean.
Bottle and seal.

Darn - Peter - you mowed this beauty down? I am really upset - especially as your weed is prettier than mine. But then we have been in a water shortage situation for a bunch of years. Wonder why it is that the weeds always seem to do well tho? This is just lovely and the detail is incredible! I really like the way you allowed the leaves behind the "weed" to frame it. (My father-in-law used to make wine out of the greens) Congrats.

Le pissenlit est une magnifique petite fleur, que les gens considèrent comme une mauvaise herbe; dommage. Vous montrez bien sa beauté.
