Taraxacum officinale

Widely naturalised in southern and eastern Australia, where it is regarded as an environmental weed. Despite this, I do like to allow their growth as they provide food for moths, butterflies, bees and birds.

Beautiful shot, Ruth. We allow them to grow as well because they are a pollinator's best friend in the early spring :) Posted 3 years ago
