Genus: Tussilago

Actually they are pretty similar, but I have found that this one is not very invasive, where I have it. I just found it an interesting plant, so dug some up and took it home with me, as it grows all along the gravel drive at work.
You guys out west seem to have gotten more than your share of winter this year! Hope your gardens pop up for you soon!

In Manitoba, we call these dandelions.

LOL! Sorry, couldn't resist, they look like dandelions going to seed. Looks like you are a month ahead of me in your garden. Al your photos are beautiful!

Me either Sarah !

I'm familier with Coltsfoot - it grows in my local woods - but I never knew you could smoke it! ha ha - I won't be giving it a go! Sarah.
