Franchi Italian vegetable Seeds: Chicory and Dandelion
Judy Glattstein (Wed, 25 Mar 2020 13:36:37 PDT)

I stand corrected. I accept that Johnny's dandelion is not dandelion,
it's chicory. Franchi (what a luscious catalog. There used to be a
vendor at the Philly Flower Show who sold seed from wonderfully uncommon
sources, including Franchi) Anyhow, Franchi does sell Chicorium. And
also Taraxicum, to wit: Dandelion / Dente de Leone.

As it stands, both Taraxicum and Chicorium are exotic invaders. I
speculate that European immigrants brought both over to North American.

What's just about to open now, along my driveway, is the
dandelion-looking flowers of coltsfoot, Tussilago farfara. Which is also
not native.

Enough of this not a bulb, not even a native. I retire from the discussion.
