Label TextDandelions’ cheerful yellow blooms add a pop of color to our Orange County landscape, but below ground, their roots are chockful of nutrients. The plant’s vitamins and minerals have long been valued by practitioners of Chinese Traditional Medicine and Native American herbalists. For Hong Kong-born artist Bovey Lee, what lies beneath the surface might be the key to our wellbeing. We all need a sense of home and belonging, and whether local or transplants, our roots become entangled with this special place. Status
