DSCN9532 taraxacum officinale
Yellow Flower Heads of the Dandelion or Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale in the family Asteraceae - hundreds of individual ray-shaped flowers clustered together; mniszek pospolity, mniszek lekarski, mlecz in Polish). The common dandelions grow in areas with moist soils and provide both pollen and nectar for the insects (early source of food for pollinators, in both turf and cultivated fields). Their flowers can be used to make dandelion wine. The perennial, edible plant that forms rosettes of leaves with yellow flower clusters rising from the center have been used in traditional medicine (anticancer effects, diuretic properties, very helpful in chronic catarrhs of the mouth, throat, and bronchi, in some diseases of the bile ducts, in the event of a risk of gallstones - slight antispasmodic effect, in liver and digestive problems, and lowering blood glucose). The deep lobes are source of common name. The name dandelion comes from the French word “tooth of the lion”.
