All three. When my seven year old runs in the door with them squishing through her fingers and wants a vase to put mom's prize in, they are the loveliest, sun-shiniest flowers ever. When I look out in the back yard and all I can see is a yellow-specked yard, then they are a weed and I look for the whacker. And I've had those greens on salads. They are better (and hardier) than those she-she salad greens you buy in bags, that are so perishable, you can hardly get them home. But pick the small, baby leaves, not the hard, old cusses. You might choke yourself in bitterness.

I know they are a weed, but they look so pretty in the early spring with the yellow contrast against the greeness of the grass. Now when they get all fluffy and tall, then thats when I don't like them...My kids LOVE them, though.

They only became "weeds" when ordered gardens began. But for a long time they were one of the staple veges of the poor. Use the leaves as a salad. Use the flowers as a tea, which has diuretic qualities as well as other medicinal ones. Source of vitamins too. Many Southern Europeans still eat them.

A weed is just a flower in the wrong spot. Dandelions are wonderful flowers and beautiful spread out in thousands across a lawn or meadow. They are tasty and the roots are terrific as a tonic and diuretic. I think of them as a healing plant mostly, for the eyes and for the body:-)
