crowded bulbs

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.

Do dandelions count as bulbish with that wonderful tap root? I once
purchased white dandelion seeds from Australia. I recently saw a picture
of pink and yellow blooms, I would like a lawn full of those. Hopefully
more people are seeing the benefits of dandelions, I can't wait for my
first spring salad. For now I'm making tea with the roots and dried leaves.
The only thing crowding for me right now is Ledebouria sp. Tag was lost
long ago, should make the effort to ID it.
Still a couple feet of snow on the ground here, but it is sunny.
Trying to keep occupied by planting seeds.
