What does a dandelion look like?

1. Dandelion Form

Dandelion is distributed in both the north and south of my country and is a relatively common plant. It is a perennial herb with a peculiar root, which is cone-shaped and gradually becomes thinner from the base to the roots. The surface of its leaves is corrugated and serrated, like broken feathers. The leaves are green and reddish brown in color, and their petioles turn reddish purple when mature. Dandelions in different regions have different shapes and sizes.

2. Dandelion Flowers

1. The plant usually blooms and bears fruit in spring, summer and autumn. Its flowers are bright yellow, like miniature sunflowers. The flowers are surrounded by green stems with many white hairs on them. After the flowers of the plant mature, they will turn into seeds. The seeds are composed of umbrella-shaped small white hairs and are very beautiful in appearance. Usually, under the action of human power or wind, the seeds will float to the ground to grow and reproduce.

2. Some dandelions will have dark green buds hidden in the middle of their leaves when they grow bigger. When the roots of the dandelions are broken, milky white juice will flow out. It tastes bitter, but can clear away heat and reduce internal heat.
