Yes, the arrangements of self-seeding plants can look great, and the wildflowers are often more interesting and intricate than the cultivated ones. :) Dandelions are beautiful and edible, but yes, they tend to suppress everything else on the lawn.
I know about the Succulent growers, and almost published this there, but then I had some doubts because these plants grow wild, nobody grows them ... and not all are succulents ... but yes, it's a typical succulent's habitat, it could fit that community ... next time I visit a similar place, the post will appear there.

I am reading a book right now (slowly) named pretentiously 'The sexual life of plants'. Has some curious info on various plants.... including figs, dandelions, and underground (!) orchids. Dandelions are referred there as 'unerasable perfect weed' ;)

:) How to fight with such a perfect lawn - invaders.
it is a question or a statement?
if the 1st - I can tell what I do. in case of dandelion - it is a very noticeable plant, with a very long vertical root. I've obtained a scoop with a very narrow and long blade (like a bayonet), capable to dig in especially such a long vertical roots. And whenever I see a growing dandelion, I remove it along with the root. As you can see, the recipe is very simple :=). You just need consistency... doing it year by year with no relax. the whole problem is that I visit our summer house very rarely, several times in the summer (last year, during covid, was an exception).
but the deal with other weed -- snyt -- is unsolvable this way...
:) Consistency can do miracles.
...and dandellions consistently doing their Miracle back on me / us, hahahaa!!!!!!!!!
