These informal images demonstrate how wildflowers and Dandelions meet on protected land such as provincial parks across Canada. I use basic field guides to identify plants. My go-to books are the Peterson Field Guide series for native wildflowers.
Submit your photo! If you spot a wildflower growing in close proximity to a Dandelion, please send me your photo. Let me know where you took it and if I can add your picture to this collection. Submit to nandyheule@gmail.com with the subject line: Dandelion photo.
