Dandelions vs. Roses: Why One's a Weed and the Other's a Gem
Dandelions and roses: one's a sight of glee in your backyard, the other a thorny beauty adorned in some gardens. Why is this? Why is the dandelion often referred to as a weed when the rose gets the royal treatment? Let's step into this curious contrast!
