Taraxacum officinale, Common dandelion, Πικραλίδα
Iceland issued two stamps in 1960 depicting wild flowers
I remember, when I was a child in the north of England, the look of consternation on my father’s face when one of these plants turned up in the lawn
Consequently, I look on them with horror more or less the same way that gardeners regard Bermuda Buttercups
Those in the know and who collect wild greens in Greece in the spring are very fond of the leaves of the Dandelion plant
I think I took this photo, in a public park in Madrid, this way, was to show the shape of the leaves
Dandelions are mentioned in
