Country intro
A lightest touch
A sunny day, fluffy clouds, almost zero on the Beaufort scale. A nice day for a good stroll. Just look at those dandelions. One seed, transported by wind or the accidental impact of my boots, will only travel for a few hundred meters on average. Did you know a single seed stays just an abandoned seed on soil for many years and is known to germinate a little less than 10 years after the actual impact?
"Taraxacum officinale", the common dandelion, is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant of the family Asteraceae. It can be found growing in temperate regions of the world, in lawns, on roadsides, on disturbed banks and shores of water ways, and other areas with moist soils.
