Riddle me this

 

 I have a special tool to remove dandelions. I love this thing. Makes me feel like I am all organic-y in my lawn care (which I am not...we'll talk about that later).

 

 

Yet this -- gets to stay. 

 

Its a portulaca. I love portulaca's and have them planted in various locations around the gardens.

 

But technically, isn't this just a yellow flower growing in a sidewalk crack. 

Like a dandelion is simply a yellow flower?

I don't struggle with the dandelions anymore. My neighbor's chickens love the leaves and I just rip them off and take them next door. I do clip off the seed heads, though. No need to grow them as a crop plant.
