Dandelion seeds,
Dandelions and weeds,
If the city was to be taken over by plant life,
Would it be at the hand of the
Dandelion?

Weed Definition,
Verb,
 1 a wild plant growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants:

Looking around Manchester and a lot of the greenery that you see, is weeds, unwanted growth that has clung on to any surface available, attempting to re-claim the land that once belonged to them.



These weeds aren't welcomed, they are associated with sites that have grown into disrepair, sites where no-one is bothered about keeping the streets clean, where there is no-one on hand to pick these unwanted outsiders. Therefor weeds are surely related to abandoned spaces, when they are allowed to take hold, making the space there own, but isn't there something romantic in that?

So if the city was to become derelict and abandoned would this be what would take hold? 
Would this be what would later come to be described as romantic?

At what point does a weed stop being a weed? Who is to determine whether the plant is wanted or unwanted?

 
 How to grow Danelions?
Encouraging the very weed everybody curses?
I have collected some seeds,,,,
