What does a dandelion flower look like and what color is it?

1. Introduction

Dandelion is a perennial herb of the Asteraceae family, also known as yellow flowered dandelion, dandelion, and Chinese flower dandelion. It mostly grows on hillside grasslands, roadsides, fields, and river beaches in medium and low altitude areas. The whole plant can be used as medicine and is a common Chinese herbal medicine. It is often used to treat diseases such as acute mastitis, lymphadenitis, acute conjunctivitis, colds and fever, and acute tonsillitis. In addition to being used as a medicinal ingredient, it is also one of the ingredients for health and wellness. It has a high therapeutic value and has many functions such as clearing away heat and detoxifying, protecting the liver, and beautifying the skin.

2. Like what

The flowering period of dandelion is around April to October. The flowers are yellow in color. When the flowers mature, they will grow into a white fluffy ball shape. The flowers look like chrysanthemums, with a tongue-shaped capitula, a bell-shaped involucre and tightly clustered flowers, usually with 2-3 layers of bracts. When the flowers mature, they will grow seeds. At this time, the dandelion looks like a white ball-shaped plush toy. In addition, there will be dandelion seeds at the bottom of the fluff, and the seeds will float in the wind when the wind blows. The seed is like a paratrooper, and the fluff is its parachute. It then floats in the wind, and when the wind stops, it will slowly land on the soil and take root and sprout.

3. What color

The flowers of dandelions are yellow, the same bright yellow as chrysanthemums. When the flower matures, it will grow into a white fluffy ball, like white fluff. Rare red and purple.
