タンポポ dandelion

　この時期に見られるタンポポは茎が短いです。もう少し立つと周囲の草が伸びてくるので、タンポポの茎もそれにつられ長くなります。

　ロゼット状に広がるギザギザの葉もタンポポの特徴です。写真の下側が南です。日当たりの良いほうが、葉の切れ込みが深いように見えます。

　Dandelions observed at this time of year have short stems. After a while, the surrounding grass will grow and the dandelion stem will also grow longer.

　The toothed leaves which extend like a rosette are also characteristic of dandelion. The south side is the bottom of the picture. It seems that the leaves on the sunny side, south and east, have deep notches.
