Dandelions

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden dandelions.
I know - it doesn't have the same ring about it as the original. But why do most people love daffodils and hate dandelions? Admittedly they don't have much variety but they are pretty, aren't they? I recently admired a field full of yellow and white. And the transformation to seed head is amazing:

Just imagine if dandelions became fashionable and you had to go to the garden centre to buy a tray of seedlings.
