We have them with both types of leaves.Are you talking about the top one because that is the one that is not native to the US?
I usually pick the ones in the top picture though as they look more appealing.

Oh. That's even more interesting that you have both. That's why I usually pick those also. I think those are called red seeded. Googling dandelions was difficult on my phone. The pictures don't really help because they don't show up good. I never really thought about it before because they are both so common here. The same with plantain. One of those has thin leaves and the other has wider ones.We have them with both types of leaves.

send some my way! lol I donʻt think thatʻs legal though :-(I collect the fluffy seed heads and scatter them on my garden.
Oh ok, thank you!????That’s a daisy or aster not a dandelion
That would be a great trip!I
got hooked on the deep sea fishing on my First Charter out of the Ft Lauderdale... it was amazing. I tied to learn every fish I pulled out of the ocean.... but there were so many!!! All the beautiful colors really grabbed Me.and the fights for a lot of those fish was like nothing you experience here.. after That, I would go on at least two trips every year for about 5 years until Jayden came along.. I really miss it but Joey is just not really interested in Going.. now that Jayden is older, this may be my next mother / son trip!
Thanks Lyn, I am hopeful the trip is a success.I've never thought you were always complaining Ray, in fact I'm always amazed at how up beat and positive you are through all the pain you have to contend with. It's good to let off steam and where better than here amongst friends!?
I hope the weather is good to you so that your fishing trip is everything you want it to be.
Right!Not many tortoise owners there then?
But youʻre going to change that right?Right!
Well, after giving him a cold shower after he flashed you, I can understand why he doesn't want eat out of your hand.Last night when I took the pictures I didn't pay attention to the one next to it. It has flowers too. Both types look like dandelions to me. I've never noticed which one Sapphire likes the best. He won't eat them if I pick them. He chooses a growing leaf that smells good to him. The only thing I've been able to hand feed him is a wild strawberry with the stem still attached.
The thin leafed plantain is ribwort, and the bigger leaves are the broadleaf, Lola likes both but especially likes ribwort. When I first started teaching myself about weeds for Lola I used to remember the ribwort by thinking of ribbon) although broadleaf speaks for itself really. I think there's another type too but can't remember what the name is. It's on the tortoise table. (None of which are related to banana plant which is also called a plantain)Oh.

I know. I've never lived that down with myself let alone him ?Well, after giving him a cold shower after he flashed you, I can understand why he doesn't want eat out of your hand.
What's funny about plantain is it's also edible for humans. I read if done right it's similar to broccoli. It has to go through several boiling baths first much like blanching for freezing vegetables. That's to remove the tanins.The thin leafed plantain is ribwort, and the bigger leaves are the broadleaf, Lola likes both but especially likes ribwort.

Plantains are quite easy grow from the seed heads after flowering too.
Well I live in Florida now. But I have 4 sons and 8 grandchildren in Michigan. Maybe they will get involved. ?But youʻre going to change that right?
Yes yes yes! sounds like a lot of fun.Good afternoon! Busy week for me and 1 more day to go.. I have plans Saturday to take my mother to “Chicken Trade Days” in Gilmer Tx on Saturday. It’s kind of like a farmers market for small livestock animals, supplies and crafts.. I’m looking forward to it except it starts at 7am and it’s about 1-1/2 hour drive from me.. BUT, I don’t spend a lot of time with my mother and the Events of my life have me thinking I’d better make a bit more effort... besides, there’s no telling what I might find there ?
