It’s here! Today is #InternationalDayoftheDandelion! If you’re near maybe join the Dandelion walk in Norwich at 10am (DM for details), try to ID & photo one (see pinned tweet) for #wildflowerhour at 8pm, or just have a moment watching the biodiversity in a sunny dandelion patch.

Its flowers and seeds may have gone but the dandelion still makes a convenient perch for an orange-tip Dandelion Appreciation Society

"A whole new world; a new fantastic point of view"
