Americans would probably be more tolerant, or perhaps indifferent to dandelions except for the fixation with a beautiful green lawn.

Actually, Americans aren't any more tolerant to them on a green lawn.

But in my experience, even if not treated, the dandelions do not stay around very long before they go away - in my section of the woods anyways (W.V., USA).

My father spent uncounted hours weeding dandelions from the front lawn. He thought it shameful, an embarrassment to the family and the neighborhood if there were a single yellow blossom defacing the uniform green of THE LAWN.

I could not care less, in fact, I'd rather plant up the entirety of our lawn with trees, flowering shrubs, patches of wildflowers, even native tall grasses save only for one small patch where M could practice agility with Dahlia.

ACME (MADE IN ENGLAND) TORNADO 635 whistle. Very simple, very loud, but I have one that's louder.

We have more than our share of weeds here, dandelions are not among them.

Ice. It's gone now, but I just know it will be back.
