i think dandelions are actually an invasive plant that came over with the pilgrims, but i could very easily be very wrong....

Here's an interesting article: http://www.hpj.com/archives/2011/may11/may16/0429DealingwithDandelionssr.cfm
My husband, a Michigan historian, said that some people in Michigan grew a type of dandelion from Russia for their roots -- to make rubber for use in WWII.

Some here eat as salat, even you can buy now special seeds which are not so bitter.
You have to put a dark think over it, so the leaves get really light, then it taste not that bad.

Liriodendrun tulipifera is the tallest native tree east of the Mississippi in the USA.
Tulip Poplar of the midwest US is much loved by cabinet makers for is wood. A storm knock one down on my sister's property in southern Illinois, the tree was huge, straight with no branches until the very top. The logging company hired to haul it away cut the main trunk into bolts, they got 180 feet of bolts greater than 24 inches in diameter. The base of the tree was over 6 feet in diameter. We figure from root to crown the tree was about 225 feet tall, and that is not a record for the species. Most impressive tree, and its a member of the magnolia family to boot.
