Nothing quite like dandelions

In the field across from my parents home lies a maze that Grandpa built. In this maze, were thousands of wildflowers. Most of them were pretty small, but beautiful all the same. The first two days that we were there, the kids were enthralled with picking the dandelions. I know that most people consider them weeds, but really, they are quite pretty. I tried taking the kids' picture with their bouquets. For some reason, this was quite the challenge....but make a funny series of pictures.

There was one particular flower that Payton named 'flamingo beaks' because during the day they were pink and curvy. What was special about these flamingo beaks was that they opened up about the time the sun went down into a little white flower with five petals in a similar shape to an orchid.  (They are all behind Payton  and also next to the daises in the other pic.)

Then there were my favorite - bluebonnets. 

And there was also the yucca.

But there's really nothing quite like a dandelion.
