Warm sunny day, occasionally hot (although also occasionally an east wind blew and it felt cold).
The air was very fresh, almost intoxicating.
After the long cold winter and the drab weeks of March and early April when nothing was growing, it is a pleasure to see even the dandelions (a perennial weed) flowering.
Botanical name is Taraxacum Officinale. Native to the British Isles. The yellow flowers close at night. Used as food by the larvae of the Gothic Moth. All parts of the plant are edible. The plant can be used medicinally as a diuretic, antioxidant and to reduce inflammation.
