Yellow… thy mellow my soul …


Scientific name: Taraxacum officinale 
Found growing all over the temperate world. A humble perennial herb with vibrant yellow flowers. On maturation, the flower turns into a fluffy ball of seeds - a treat to the eyes. A herbal remedy for problems with gall bladder, liver, diabetes and loss of appetite. The flower was following me since 1993, when i first noticed it in Coonoor and then in Dehradun in 2001. I could capture into a frame on 1 Dec. 2010 on a way side at a hill slope at Coonoor.
