Dandelion

I dug this dandelion plant out of my lawn. I was looking a bit battered having survived some heavy rain. Before it went in the compost bin, I decided to photograph it from a different perspective. Again, I balanced the plant on a fence post, so I could use the lawn as a background. I added a vignette to make it stand out a bit more.

Keith - It's snowing here, and there's not a dandelion in sight.
But you've photographed this flower beautifully.
I always see them like this when I pick the heads for my dandelion jam, because then the little green sepals, the bracts, always have to be removed, otherwise they give it a bitter taste.

We've had a lot of rain, but at the moment it's very sunny and warmer than average for this time of year.

Glad you like my shot of this dandelion.........thank you so much!

I hadn't realised you could make jam from dandelions..!!

This "weed" looks amazingly attractive from the underside with its yellow-brown stripes. Perfect sharpness on the flowerhead and a nice soft background.
