Taraxacum, are weeds that we see a lot on summers, though they are more commonly known as dandelion. I have always wondered why its called a dandelion, I assumed that the name has to do with a lion, since in german it is called Löwenzahn (Lion teeth), I recently found out that it is indeed of French origin, dent de Lion.

Dandelions are composed of hundreds of florets, so when dried up, a dandelion clock (below) is composed of hundred of seeds that makes them proliferate much faster as they also disperse easily, especially with the help of kids.
