    Dear Mr Jim,

    I love both picture and haiku. The word dandelion comes from French: dent de lion, teeth of lion, to describe the dented leaves. Interestingly, their common name in French is pissenlit; The French eat the leaves, harvested when they are tendered. The vinaigrette to go with is usually mustard base.

    I hope to see you on the dance floor tonight. Happy New Year!

    Liat
