The seed of a dandelion, loved by children as a blowball, not so welcome to me as a garden enthusiast. (At least not in my garden) Yet the plant is a versatile talent. The flowers of the common dandelion can be processed into a sweet syrup, the young leaves into salad. Even the roots of the plant were once used as a coffee substitute. In medicine, dandelion is used for loss of appetite, bloating, and to stimulate urine excretion. Today, research is being conducted to replace natural rubber from rubber trees with dandelion rubber.

Hello Jeanny and Stefan,
thank you very much for your great comments, I am very pleased that you like a picture of this flower, which can now be seen in masses in spring, so much. I couldn't resist the somewhat longer image description, I find it fascinating what nature provides us with such a plant that grows almost everywhere.
Greetings from Aachen,
