Thats a very nice one too dandelion. Looks a bit like a lilly doesnt it?
GG: Mine is in its first year. Strange that yours is just leaf in the first year ???. it is (so i gather) the second year you are most likely to have no flowers.
Actually Richard, it is in it's third year, first two had lovely flowers. Maybe I have neglected it a bit so it's punishing me this year ;D
