A Hardy Species

I've discovered an important botanical truth. Dandelions are immune to freezes.

Despite the late date, we've had three or four freezes in a row (thanks Al Gore), setting records for low temps and the coldest April Easter ever. What was recently green on my property: my trees, flowers, bushes, lawn, etc. is now black and shriveled.

All except the dandelions, which are a vibrant yellow (except for those that are already going to seed). It's hardly fair.
