This is NOT a Dandelion. | Deep Look

Not every yellow bloom ― or fluffy white globe ― taking over your backyard is a dandelion. Some of them are close relatives called catsears. But both of them have a little secret. To tell them apart and discover why they’re so successful you need to peek under their petals.

Gardeners cursing as they yank out yellow blooms from the ground might be misplacing their anger. Not everything that looks like a dandelion is one.
Dandelions have many doppelgangers, among them the most successful plant you’ve never heard of: catsears.
Bees and butterflies love the nectar and pollen provided by dandelions and catsears, and little songbirds like lesser goldfinches feed on their seeds. But it’s hard to convince some gardeners of their virtues.
“Most people who have a nice turf want only grasses,” said Joe DiTomaso, a weed researcher who retired from the University of California, Davis.
Whether you’re a friend or a foe, telling dandelions and catsears apart could be useful ― if only to know thine enemy ― and a fun way to ponder what makes these yellow blooms so successful.
--- How do you tell if it’s a dandelion?
Under a dandelion’s ― and a catsear’s ― petals you’ll see green structures that hold the bloom. They’re called phyllaries. In catsears, they all point up. In dandelions, some phyllaries curl down.
Dandelion and common catsear leaves have a similar shape, with toothed edges that give dandelions their name ― an adaptation from the French dent-de-lion, or lion’s tooth. The leaves of the common catsear are more lobed than pointy and they’re furry, while dandelions’ are smooth. Both leaves are edible, prepared in salads or sautéed.
One other way to tell them apart is that each stem of catsears branches into multiple blooms, while dandelions have only one bloom per stem.
-- What other plants look like dandelions?
A plant by the scientific name of Leontodon resembles dandelions so much that it is known as false dandelion. It is also known as lesser hawkbit, said DiTomaso.
“Where it’s confusing is its leaves look fairly similar and it has one flower per stem like dandelion, so a lot of people think it’s dandelion,” he said.

    Little known thing about the dandelion is that it's a pioneer plant species. And as is the case with all pioneer plants they are most successful when the conditions for more permanent growth is not ideal. They lock nutrients into the ground. So they are very good plants to have from a long term perspective. Once ground nutrients and PH is normalised other plants easily out-compete them. A mowed lawn is akin to a grazed meadow. However of course dandelions are the first thing to be grazed. So basically with a lawn your best bet is to mow regularly enough so that flowers and seeds can never form. However it is worth noting that dandelions are very good for your lawn too if you can live with them. They will only take over if your soil is really poor. In most cases you can sample your soil to determine deficiencies that you can nudge into a better range through fertilisers. Your other plants then have a chance to out-compete them. But dandelions are good for soil. No mess. No fertiliser runoff. No fuss. And I find them to be a particularly fetching plant as well.

    Still, it's good to know your weeds, ones from other countries are almost guaranteed to be invasive (including several species of clover for example). Dandelion (and sometimes cats ear) is one of the few that isn't too aggressive and just grows wherever without bullying other plants. Allow native weeds to grow more, they can suppress or take over invasive ones and you won't need to use any herbicides.

    So *that's* what these things are called! Catsears are among my favourite flowers. Every Spring here in Australia there are vast fields of these flowers. The flower stems are so impossibly long and slender that even from a short distance, the bright yellow blossoms appear as if they're hovering in mid-air. It's magic. I absolutely love them!

    In herbal remedies, the catsear plant has been used for treating kidney and liver problems, urinary tract infections, gallbladder issues, and constipation. Roots can be ground and used to make a coffee-like drink.

    loved seeing the difference between the dandelion and cat's ear flowers. especially seeing their seeds stuck to the bottom of each parachute. and the pollen zoom in waa pretty cool too. i'll be sure to try and spot the differences between these two flowers. and yeah, definitely edible greens. kind of bitter, but good when cooked into a curry or something that stands up to the strong flavor

  • @gingin4471

    @gingin4471

    3 жыл бұрын

    Just a guess, but it might have something to do with the reproductive system. If the goal of every living being is to reproduce and create offsprings, the males's role in reproduction ended, often long before the offspring is born, while the female needs to be there until the offsprings are born. So since the males' role (/goal) has been fulfilled, they can cease to exist. I don't think this theory is applicable for all animals of course, but that's what I thought. Sorry for bad English btw 😂

    Omg that explains it. Ive always thought it was weird that some dandelions seemed to look slimmer with a different shape. It almost seemed like a different flower. It somehow never occurred to me though that that's exactly what they were, just related to dandelions. Actually this is a common issue. Deciding at what point 2 variations on an organism are different species. You hear it a lot, that x animal has 2 new species. Not as in we discovered new ones, but actually we just subdivided what were used to thinking of as 1 species. The recent one i can think of is giraffes. We now know there are actually 4 different species of giraffe, whereas until recently it was just a giraffe is a giraffe.
