Cabbage Leaves and Dandelions

The Cabbage Leaf is an occasional magazine brought out by Botany and Other Stories, and the newest issue is all about dandelions.
In it, they discuss the recent school strikes for the climate, and the Drawing Room exhibition Black Snow, and talk about dandelions in fiction (Dandelion by Yasunari Kawabata, for instance), in Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, and the importance of dandelions in nature.
All that, and a lovely full page, full colour botanic illustration of a dandelion by Françoise Verger.
