please identify the herb. The pictures were taken in Krakow, Poland, It is small herb growing on the road side and the slopes at river bank. the first two look like dandelion, the third may be frm family hahnenfuß. both of them grow wild and in plenty Dandelions are already out. Warm winters this season is causing several wild flowers to bloom before their natural flowering time. I brought a flower/leaf home yesterday to make close up photographs to show individual florets.

They are of same flowers. The only thing when I clicked first the blooms were all surrounded by grass. latter I got an isolated plant which I clicked mainly for leaves. These were abundant in summer what you say may be correct. Sending herewith few more photos of first image. The leaves as well as the pattern of pappus on dry seed appear to be different.

Requesting ID of the attached flower captured in San Francisco, USA in May 2013.

Fruits & Vegetables Week: Taraxacum officinale, the common dandelion: Taraxacum officinale, the common dandelion, very common in the Himalayan region often found in meadows and forests. In India leaves are used as vegetable only by local people, but dandelion leaves are sold in big stores of California and relished by residents.
-I have seen this plant frowing as weed around vancouver - I have seen these plant on the way to Gulmarg. We used to blow on the dried flower heads to see the seeds flying in wind. -This was a a regular pastime in our childhood. We would hold the achene head carefully so that it remains instact, then ask the friend whether he wants a turban or a cap. If he would ask for a turban we would blow it gently so that only a few achenes fall out and the heads has many achenes forming a turban. If the friend asked for a cap, we would blow it strongly so that all achenes fall off and cap like naked head is visible.
Kalatope Dandelion.. id al010411: This is what I presume to be a 'dandelion'.. what .. called 'Taraxacum officinale'
Location Kalatope, Chamba Altitude 2100 mt habit herb habitat wild height 3 inches
Deoriatal lake in Uttarakhand , Apr 2011. Looks very common - but can not tag with proper id. Taraxacum officinale is a vasty weed here in North America Garden variety dandelion... now considered troublesome weed by most homemakers, the seeds were originally carried by the european lady ancestors of these same modern day homemakers, to be planted around their homesteading huts, as a supplemental green ..especially .. a salad green, and they knew that its roots are a lever detoxification herb par excel-lance.. and the leaves are now grown in California health conscious farms and sold across the country in green groceries... as salad or even bitter leaf vegetable to be boiled , salted eaten with toast and soup.... and dandelion rootsw are sold in some NYC green herbs stores... I personally love the taste in a salad of very tendre leaves, when the edges are still soft and roundish, before the dentation appears, esp if it comes from a non-poisoned lawn.... They are sold (leaves) in all major stores in California. The plant is very common in Kashmir, where we used to (in our childhood) harvest Rosettes of Taraxacum (along with Capsella bursa pastoris-shephered's purse; Cichorium intybus-chicory; Nasturtium officinale; etc) and cook as prize vegetable mix.

wild flower for ID (26/06/2011 NSJ-02): A wild flower for ID Location - Roadside, on the way to Pahalgam from Srinagar
Habitat - Looks to be wild (Herb 8 to 10 inches tall) Photo taken in June 2011. Flower size 20 to 25 mm Common Dandelion, a Herb / Weed present everywhere in the world. I have seen this in plenty in north Finnland and even auf Spitzbergen. I just don't have any foto and can't say if it was a variety of Dandelion. Wild, but leaves can be used to make salad, flower to make Jelly, Hmmm, and petals dipped in spirit for a few days gives it a nice flavour and color.

Taraxacum officinalis I suppose
blow on it lightly for spectacular pics.... It was a favourite game in our childhood. We would pluck gently and hold the fruit head in hand. Ask the other person whether he/she wants a turban or cap. If other person wants a turban we would blow gently so that only a few achenes fall off and it looks like a turban. If the other person opts for cap, we would blow hard so that all achenes fall off. If a few remain you have failed in your game and visa versa.

Taraxacum officinale ABAPR01/30 : 16 posts by 6 authors. 2 images. The dandelions are displaying their wispy puffballs. While researching for information on their seed dispersal I came across some interesting info on them. Here are some photos and facts; Taraxacum officinale Above Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, HP 1800m 27 April 2015
wonderful, ..., now you have shown us the SUN and the MOON pictures... As to the stars it take a few experiments with your equipment and helpers, set shutter to 1/60 th sec or so (experiment// several speeds ) lightly blow on the deed head from the left while you release the shutterstrong lungs is a better option One of our favourite chilhood pastime. The plant is very common in Kashmir. In addition to harvesting leaf rosettes for vegetable (In California markets they are sold in stores) we used to play with fruit heads Topi vs turban. By holding a full head in hand we would ask another child to choose (if his choice results he/she wins, otherwise I win). If other person opts for turban, we would blow heavily on head to dislodge all fruits, if she/he opts for cap we would blow partially to dislodge only a few fruits so that it looks like a turban. This is lovely, ... Thank you very much for sharing it. How were the leaves used as a vegetable? Cooked or raw in a salad? We used to cook it as a vegetable along with leaf rosettes of Cichorium and Capsella In West it is used as green salad, cooked in soups Roots as substitute of coffee like Cichorium It is also used as medicine to increase urine production and decrease swellings, and other remedies. Wonderful story ... yes even some green grocers carry the dandelion and parsley roots.. good for the liver and kideny, eaten in soups., they tend to be a bit bitterish. Not as affective or prized as Burdock roots, still these are readily available and eaten. Dandelion leaf rosette as it first appears is tender and can be eaten raw. in saladsYou could just pick some roots and all roots are nutritious too but what we get in green groceries in the usa are big often as big as 10 to 12 inches longThank you ... I am going to give it a try and report back. I will try and do so tomorrow. Shall I just collect the whole wispy heads or break them by blowing on them first? if you blow on them they'll fly and you'll never catch them blow for photos of the "stars" break the seed head, preferably carrying a large envelope with its mouth wide open, bend the head's stalk in to the envelope and break/cut it off, let it fall into the envelope, then the fallen seeds would be in your envelope, bring the seed heads in, and let them dry whole, the little pappus will fall off slowly and not fly off, then store as above Thank you ... The weather has been stormy since this afternoon and I am wondering if I am likely to find any intact heads tomorrow. Will report when I do find them. that's ok go with the flow mother nature will disperse the seeds and may be next warm season (which is coming) will have thousands more to watch, eat and collect.Dandelions are already out. Warm winters this season is causing several wild flowers to bloom before their natural flowering time. I brought a flower/leaf home yesterday to make close up photographs to show individual florets.
