Very windy and sunny having hard time taking these photos ... Learn interesting lesson today :) Never know this is a Dandelion :D Even more interesting!!! I just caught a fake Dandelion !! :)
Me too!! Most interesting spotting for me so far :) Thx IsmaelChavesAguilar and martinl !!
Thx martinl :) I learned even more today!! those bods actually belongs to another plant. but as i recall from my trip, it dose have few flowers per stem. :)
I suggest catsear because of the petiole structure in Pic 3 bearing several flower buds.
Dandelions have 1/ deeply lobed leaves with points 2/ smooth leaves. 3/ only one flower per stem.
Catsear has 1/ leaf lobes with rounded edges 2/ hairy leaves 3/ several flowers per stem.
Is a Dandelion flower(Taraxacum officinale) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taraxacum
