Whats happening- Dandalions in august

[keith pierce]

I was down my out apairy this morning and there was a fresh flush of grass coming on after the field was cut for silage. Part of the field was a sea of yellow with dandalions.

My wife (who knows much more about these things than I do...) tells me they can go through as many as five generations in a season. The bees, at least, seem happy about that.

Mixed up seasons for sure this year, I have a bush in my garden that flowered in april and has just started flowering again.

On a similar vein a Magnolia tree in our garden is in flower for the third time this year - is that normal?

wow.

We have some dandelions in August but those pics are like in Spring.
And they have bloomed long time because they make seeds.

I have a magnolia which flowers twice, but never yet had the hat-trick!
