Dandelion Seed Head
Dandelions are well-known weeds. The name derives from the French 'dent de lion', which refers to the deeply toothed leaves arranged in rosettes . The yellow flower heads are borne on hollow stalks and the seed heads are familiar to children as dandelion clocks, which are used to 'tell the time' by the number of blows taken to remove the seeds . Vernacular names for the dandelion include 'wet-the-bed' and 'pissy-beds', which refer to the belief that just touching part of a dandelion can cause bed-wetting .
