Taraxacum (/təˈræksəkʊm/) is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, were introduced from Europe and now propagate as wildflowers. Both species are edible in their entirety. The common name dandelion (/ˈdændɪlaɪ.ən/ DAN-di-ly-ən, from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth") is given to members of the genus. Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taraxacum
The small disk florets may be lavender, pink or even whitish. Flowerheads are subtended by three leaf-like bracts that are hairy and deltoid in shape. You’d probably expect an elephant-sized flower from a plant called Tall elephantsfoot (Elephantopus elatus), but it’s not the flower that gives this plant its name. It’s the large rosette of flat basal leaves that, with a bit of imagination, bear a tiny resemblance to the shape of an elephant’s footprint.

....forming one large head of gorgeous blue, I love a summer of hydrangeas in my garden.
100 Flowers in 2025 1/100
Cornflowers are an annual plant with grey-green branched stems, the flowers are most commonly an intense blue colour but you can get these plants with pink and white flowers, the flower-heads are 1.5 to 3cm in diameter, with a ring of a few large, spreading ray florets surrounding a central cluster of disc florets. In the past it often grew as a weed in crop fields, hence its name but unfortunately it is now endangered in its native habitat by agricultural intensification, particularly over-use of herbicides destroying its habitat. Luckily these lovely plants can be grown from seeds and they are very good as a cut flower for the home and if you dry the flowers they keep their natural colour.
Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora - There are green, smooth, ovate, simple, finely-toothed leaves that are arranged oppositely on branches. In August, the florets emerge lime green, but quickly turned white. The florets bloom into dense snowball shaped clusters. This tree was growing in someone's yard in New Fairfield, Connecticut.

My phlox Glamour Girl put out one last floret near the ground and asked to have her picture taken. I obliged.

The spiky awns of this Indian Grass accent the leaning pose of the plume as it is nudged by the evening breeze.
The added grainy texture creates interesting shadings on both the florets and the gently colored bokeh background.

Mauve/blue-coloured florets, clustered into tight flowerheads at the top of a long stem. Ovate leaves form a basal rosette. Devil’s-bit scabious is the food plant of the Marsh Fritillary butterfly, Ireland’s only legally-protected insect species and its late-flowering blossoms are an important source of nectar for late-flying bees, butterflies, hoverflies. The critically-endangered bee Andrena marginata is dependent on this plant’s pollen and nectar to line its nest. Devil’s-bit scabious may be found in grassy habitats and in late Summer, this plant creates a beautiful blue haze in meadows and marshes.
Devil's-bit scabious gets its Latin name - 'Scabere', meaning to scratch - from its traditional use as a treatment for skin conditions, such as scabies and the sores of bubonic plague, A tea was made using this plant which was used for the treatment of coughs, fevers and internal inflammations.
Its common name arises from the fact that its roots look truncated, as if bitten off, legend has it, by the Devil.
When most flowers have faded and are past their summer prime, this plant really comes into its own and delights any gardener that has included it into the landscape.
The red florets positively pop against those blue-green leaves!
Have a blessed Sunday, everyone...
Au sud du département du Puy-de-Dôme, la commune de Saint-Floret est traversée par la Couze Pavin, un affluent de l'Allier.
L'altitude minimale, environ 480 mètres, se trouve à l'est, là où la Couze Pavin quitte le territoire communal et entre sur celui de Saint-Vincent. L'altitude maximale avec 929 mètres est localisée à l'extrême sud-ouest, près du lieu-dit Pierre Piquade, en limite de la commune de Courgoul.
To the south of the Puy-de-Dôme department, the town of Saint-Floret is crossed by the Couze Pavin, a tributary of the Allier.
The minimum altitude, around 480 meters, is to the east, where the Couze Pavin leaves the municipal territory and enters that of Saint-Vincent. The maximum altitude of 929 meters is located in the extreme southwest, near the place called Pierre Piquade, on the edge of the commune of Courgoul.

Its flowers have no ray florets. Disk florets are tiny, tubular and white with visible black anthers. The florets are assembled into a dense, showy flowerhead that is held by rough hairy bracts. Leaves are petiolate and arrow-shaped with toothed or entire margins. They are oppositely arranged, and their surface is coarse. As the common name suggests, the densely branched stems are square. Seeds are borne in inconspicuous achenes.
The genus name Melanthera is from the Greek melanós, or “black” and ánthos (or anthērós) meaning “flower,” referring to the prominent black anthers. (The word “anther” is derived from the Greek anthērós.) The species epithet nivea is from the Latin nivis, meaning “snow.”
Snow squarestem seeds are available through the Florida Wildflowers Growers Cooperative. Plants are often available from nurseries that specialize in Florida native plants. Visit www.plantrealflorida.org to find a nursery in your area.
