Dandy (Taraxacum officinale)

Hope I've got the ID right on this flower, it's a few months since I took it but think that's what I thought at the time.

There are a few look-alikes though.

That path can look really pretty in the spring.

A brilliant splash of yellow, one of my favourite wild flowers. Nice shot Delia.

'Come walk with me along this willowed lane,
Where, like lost coinage from some miser's store,
The golden dandelions more and more
Glow, as the warm sun kisses them again!
For this is May!'...

(Henry Sylvester Cornwell (excerpt).)

Old Henry put it far better
than I ever could, D.
A lovely shot of our
path's golden treasure.

Dandy indeed! Fabulous camera angle and close-up with marvelous focus, dof, colors, land lighting. Superb work D!

There are some look-a-likes, but I agree with you: This is the original, and a handsome one to boot |=)|
