Yes, The dandelion is a great plant badge for XMTS

Please, no dandelions! They infest everything and can't be killed...I dont want to think of invasive pests when i think of x-marks the scot. There are some really cool flowers out there like belladonna, foxglove and other slightly dangerous but nice-looking plants...why not some of those? Or how about heather flower....kind of a scotland link that way. Or how about a sky pilot? It's hardy, perennial and takes a dedicated person to find.
here's a picture:

Here's Foxglove (stops yer heart if you indulge too much):
That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

NO WAY! I would never pick my Foxglove or Belladonna from my garden. As for the dandelions, i just let them grow where they are... unless they are not supposed to be there.. I than get down on my knees and pull them up... than again they taste pretty good with some bacon!!!

Immortality or immorality?
There are 10 kinds of people in the world...
Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

perhaps both, but mostly the Immortality. I swear I've got the spelling skills of a fourth grader. If it wasn't for Mozilla's spell checked I don't think I could spell anything right!
