It was...dandelion! (I guess now that it's retiring, it has more time on its hands!) I love how you used an urban setting to highlight those "flashing fluffy/fiery faces" and your ending brings it all to another level.

I always assumed they grew up much later than April up north! They're everywhere here now and that would be quite a bit too early for me to go barefoot in Maryland! Loving your project, and thanks for the tip about a whole box of one color!<br /><br />Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496427007514895950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-50792455704100512012017-04-03T09:27:26.707-04:002017-04-03T09:27:26.707-04:00Love the ending, Amy.

They're often the only 'food' when the bees begin harvesting. They certainly are 'small and bold".
