Description
I got macro shots of what I always thought were dandelion weeds invading our lawn, ... then I reseached and think this is a catsears. Aftter a few shots, I noticed an ant wandering around in there. Here it is right At The Heart Of It..the flowers have a simple sunny beauty... close up there is an entire new world of detail and pattern. AHHHHH what you can see when you really stop to see it.
Many similar plants in the Asteraceae family with yellow flowers are sometimes known as false dandelions. Dandelions are very similar to catsears (Hypochaeris). Both plants carry similar flowers, which form into windborne seeds. However, dandelion flowers are borne singly on unbranched, hairless and leafless, hollow stems, while catsear flowering stems are branched, solid and carry bracts. Both plants have a basal rosette of leaves and a central taproot. However, the leaves of dandelions are smooth or glabrous, whereas those of catsears are coarsely hairy. Other plants with superficially similar flowers include hawkweeds (Hieracium) and hawksbeards (Crepis). These are readily distinguished by branched flowering stems, which are usually hairy and bear leaves. � wiki
