The Dandelion, a common annual or perennial weed that has been introduced or has invaded almost every continent. / It has been used as a cooking and medicinal herb since prehistory, it is now known to have a high vitamin and mineral content. / I once met an elderly man in the English Lake district who made a beer out of it. I never did try a sample, but I once tried fermenting it as a wine it was not bad but just could not compete with Elder or Rhubarb for taste. / Much to every gardeners ire the dandelion has always been a child’s delight by counting the number of breaths it takes to blow all the seeds to the wind… / This photo was taken with Fuji Reala film

The species of Taraxacum are tap-rooted biennial or perennial herbaceous plants, native to temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere of the Old World. The leaves are 5–25 cm long or longer, simple and basal, entire or lobed, forming a rosette above the central taproot. The flower heads are yellow to orange colored and are open in the daytime but close at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape) which rises 4 – 75 cm above the leaves and exudes a milky sap (latex) when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time. The flower heads are 2–5 cm in diameter and consist entirely of ray florets. The flower heads mature into a spherical "clocks" containing many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hairs, which enable wind-aided dispersal over long distances. The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse; the outer bracts are always reflexed downward. Some species drop the "parachute" from the achenes; the hair-like parachutes are called pappus, and they are modified sepals. Between the pappus and the achene, there is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily, separating the seed from the parachute.

Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) is a plant in the family Asteraceae. It has been used medicinally as a cough suppressant. The name “tussilago” itself means “cough suppressant.” The plant has been used since at least historical times to treat lung ailments such as asthma as well as various coughs by way of smoking. Crushed flowers supposedly cured skin conditions, and the plant has been consumed as a food item. Coltsfoot is a perennial herbaceous plant that spreads by seeds and rhizomes. Tussilago is often found in colonies of dozens of plants. The flowers, which superficially resemble dandelions, appear in early spring before dandelions appear. The leaves, which resemble a colt’s foot in cross section, do not appear usually until after the seeds are set. Thus, the flowers appear on stems with no apparent leaves, and the later appearing leaves then wither and die during the season without seeming to set flowers. The plant is typically between 10 – 30 cm in height. This image was captured in mid-April 2008 in Lynde Shores Conservation Area in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
