I enjoy dandelions, violets and clover in my lawn - it's so much prettier than a plain green lawn. I even planted some gill-over-the-ground (Glechoma hederacea) in the lawn so I can smell the refreshing scent while mowing. I think people hate dandelions especially because they can mow the lawn to manicured perfection and then a few hours later dandelion seed-heads will stick up proudly several inches above their perfect green carpet. An obsessive-compulsive's bane but a truly beautiful plant. In our neck of the woods, they eat them with hot bacon dressing and most people actually pre-cook them first to reign-in their bitterness.
