I have a really beautiful dandelion. Shoots up flower stems a foot tall with perfect flowers about two inches in diameter. All my other dandelions are just shaggy little ordinary weeds.

Is there any cultivated flower that looks like a perfect dandelion?

a blob of menure or st in the soil? (they do react amazingly to the amount of fert),
I have seen specimen almost 2 feet tall at garden shows (overlooked by gardeners and participating in all the fertilizer that was thrown around)

bye Lin

microseris?
there surely are many yellow asteraceae - often with confusing names such as hawksbit, mouseear, goatsbeard and so on.

It was definitely a dandelion.

I've decided what I want is a yellow Calendula. Perhaps "golden Emperor" from Eden.
