My favourite plant is the Lamb's Ear because it's so soft and fuzzy. This plant has little white and purple flowers. It's originally from Turkey and Iran, but can now be found in warm places all over the world. Many people tend to like it because of the soft, fuzzy leaves.

The plant is called "Lamb's Ear" because the leaves are covered in soft white hair.
These plants are sometimes considered "invasive", because they grow so easily in many places and can spread very quickly.
Another one of my favourite plants is the Dandelion. A lot of people dislike the Dandelion because it can also grow quickly and easily, like the Lamb's Ear, but Dandelions have so many cool features. They can adapt to many environments and their seeds look fuzzy!

The seeds are light and fluffy, so they can easily be blown by the wind. This is one of the reasons that Dandelions spread so quickly.

| All parts are edible! |
Another cool thing about Dandelions is that they are completely edible! The leaves taste best when picked before the flowers appear (in early Spring), and the flowers are great for making Dandelion wine. Dandelion roots can be made into a coffee alternative!
