Description: Dandelion possesses a hollow stem that supports a brightly emanating composite flower head that is sensitive to the sun, opening at dawn and closing at dusk. Dandelion pertains to the earth. It makes fast to the earth in an upright manner. The stem will grow higher if it is growing amongst tall plants so that when it flowers it may be in the sun. Even the seeds, that are designed to be carried by the wind, have a perfect anchored parachute shape allowing them to float down to earth in an upright manner. The seed head is like a convex station for silvery stars with an earth centre of brown seeds.
The leaves are without hairs and the margins of the leaves are jagged like teeth where one of its folk names, ‘lion’s teeth’, come from. The leaves grow close to the ground in a floret. Dandelion has a long history as a healing plant. Its botanical name, taraxacum, is derived from Greek taraxos meaning disorder and akos, remedy.
