1. What does it look like?

Dandelion is a perennial stemless herb with white milky sap. The leaves are densely packed in a rosette, deeply pinnately lobed, shallowly lobed or wavy-toothed, with or without petioles. Dandelion flowers are usually yellow, but are less commonly white, red or purple. The mature corolla has many hairs that are hairy. The dandelion is like a proud child, standing with its chest straight in the breeze and shaking its head high in the wind. Dandelion seeds are carried under the white fluff like small umbrellas, and then travel around with the breeze. When the wind stops, they slowly land somewhere and settle down there.

The dandelions floating in the wind are like wandering knights or idle people traveling everywhere. Admiring the scenery along the way, you may be attracted by the beautiful scenery and stop, or you may be blocked by something along the way and forced to take root somewhere. It can go and stop at any time, and can settle down wherever it arrives. The fluffy dandelions are very small and cute, giving people a soft and lovely feeling.

2. Growth habits

There are many varieties of dandelions, with about 2,000 species in the world, about 70 species and one variant in my country.

It grows mostly on hillside grasslands, roadsides, fields, and riverbanks. It grows in Jiangsu, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Heilongjiang, Jilin and other places in my country.
