superchon: @megirvine haha! Hoary means grey or white with age...given this is the last stage of the dandelion's life before it shrivels & dies I thought it appropriate! It's the old man of the flower kingdom!

 

superchon: @lavendergrey2 thank you very much! I'll do that! I've seen that tag around :) thanks for the invite! #macrogardener

 

littlehen: Oh. It looks different to our dandelions

 

superchon: @littlehen this one looked a bit tangled & mankey, they don't all look like this...

 

jacwatty: And this one

 

superchon: @littlehen so I have discovered that this guy is a hawksbeard...the flower & plant look very similar to the dandelion & they're part of the same family...who knew?

 

littlehen: @superchon wow. This macro stuff is an education!

 

superchon: @littlehen haha! It really is!
