Carol’s Saturday Sunrise feature: The surprising story of the dandelion

Carol’s nature feature on Saturday Sunrise on 18 April takes a closer look at the humble dandelion, a native plant many of us walk past without a second thought.

Describing it as “a botanical miracle,” she explores how this familiar plant transforms through its life cycle and even follows its own daily rhythm.

The feature also touches on how our view of dandelions has changed over time, and why this often-overlooked plant was once valued far more than it is today.

It’s a thoughtful and surprising look at something you might never have given a second glance.
