List Friday 5/9

Just found this pomegranatesandpaper site where there is a list to make every Friday, right up my alley.

What are the plants/flowers/trees that always made you smile?

1. Tulips
2. Lilacs
3. Joshua Trees
4. Cholla
5. Gardenias
6. Calla Lilies
7. Willow Trees
8. Sunflowers
9. Dandelions

Dandelions, why are we always trying to get rid of them? I like 'em. They look fine, they aren't ugly like other weeds and they do that cool turn into cottonish thing. What do we have against them? I have noticed recently in Reno that lawns are about 1/2 grass and 1/2 dandelion. If lawn is a must then I say why not share it with the dandelions?
