Well, wouldn't you know.
This bright little flower captured a spot in a patio crack and looked so appealing, I decided it should stay.
According to my best research I recently (yesterday) learned that it might be a Krigia dandelion.
I'll wait to be corrected by those who know plants and don't give their heart away to any weed just because it sports a cheerfully spunky blossom and requires no upkeep.
Anyone?

I wouldn't know about the name, I am just wondering where the stem has gone!
Well, I don't know what it's name is, but it is a cheerful looking little bugger and we always use one of those!!
Have a great day!

Well, I can definitely tell you it's a flower and it's yellow.
As you can guess, I'm no gardener.
They are spunky flowers/weeds, arent they?
Hope all is well Sue. Hugs, G
How beautiful! I love it! Yellow is so cheery!
You have elevated the lowly dandelion - great shot!
Well it works for me anyway....I didn't know that dandelions had special names. Great way to use the letter k.
I love yellow....so bright!
Glad you decided it should stay
for it would bring a sunshine joy
every day.
LOL... I would gladly give my heart to a weed if it gladdened my day! Of course once I learned it was a weed, I'd probably have to pull it out... you know, by the roots...
:)
(I've got a new bloggie... changes are afoot!)
Dandelions get such a bad rap but, really, they are so bright and cheerful. They should be honored like yours!
i'm no gardener but that's a beautiful yellow flower. hope all is well.
Well, a dandelion by any other name would be as cheerful and sunny as your Krigia. I see the odd perky dandelion out these days, but haven't stop to ask their name....
I don't know the name, but Krigia works well for K. It's a beautiful flower, whatever its name.
krigia it is ;)
beautifully shot!
We don't have Krigia dandelion in Europe, so I can only applaud its beauty. Thank you for sharing!
klever take on the topic.
I am so cheered by this dandelion. It's such a cheery yellow.
It's a dandelion alright, and it looks like a Krigia dandelion.
The photo is brilliant.
I love how Krigia is wearing her hair. There's something so magical about dandelion curls!
A lovely dandelion.
The flower of the poet.

That is not dandelion but yellow marigold :) Nice !!!!
Dandelion, one man's weed is another man's salad! Lovely yellow blossom, perfectly captured.
Its only a weed if you don't want it otherwise its a flower and a cheery yellow one at that. Lovely
Whatever it is...it's a nice shot!
Thanks for stopping by
I've never heard of this before, Sue, but I happened to have my handy wildflower book next to the computer. Sure enough, there is a Krigia dandelion; not only that, but there are three different species! Yours looks very much like the bloom in the picture. I don't pull out anything that looks pretty and grows up on its own, unless someone tells me it's an invasive weed:)
It's very hard to identify these 'dandelion' flowers without the leaves and a view of the whole plant, so I'm going with your Krigia! It's charming, anyway. :)
So many blossoms look like this. It's the leaves and stems that help in identification. Petty blossom. I'm glad you let it stay.
Well, I see we found out it is a krigia..weed or not it's very pretty. BTW, thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for visiting my post about The King. When along the side of the road, a field of dandelions can be really beautiful. I like the colours in your shot. - Margy
Was it a weed, how can it be, it is so beautiful.
It's so beautiful, what ever that weed is!
