My favourite story about dandelions came from the curator of the Abbotsbury Subtropical Garden in Dorest.
He had some overseas students working there when a batch of new plants in pots was delivered. He asked the students to plant them out but to weed the pots first. When he went to check later, they had weeded out all the plants and put in the dandelions - in full flower!
