    Dandelion by the Stones, okay that's a plus
    D&B, okay forgot about that, that's a plus.

    Got a good crop this year.

    What happened to the Barley idea? Is this going to become a pewter kilt pin idea? Will it be maroon? Sorry, not really.

    I agree it has to be something universal. Not sure about the diuretic connotations - was there not a post recently along those lines?

    I don't think that many peoples knows about diuretic things <strike>Beer seems to be diuretic too, and what's wrong with beer?[/strike]
    And i also think dandelion beautiful enough flower. And it's definitely present almost anywhere. So to me it's strong enough for these purpose.

    As soon as the dandelion was suggested (along with the wikipedia description) I thought that it was perfect. It is universal. Easy to find. Bright and colorful. And it attibutes describe this group well.
