Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) - Botanical Illustration & Plant Guide #313299 (License: Personal Use)

This vintage-style botanical illustration captures the full life cycle of the common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), featuring three open flower heads with ray florets, several immature buds at varying stages, and a rosette of deeply incised, toothed leaves. The fine linework and subtle watercolor shading emphasize anatomical accuracy, typical of 19th-century scientific flora plates. Stems are slender and slightly hairy, with bracts visible beneath the inflorescences.

Used in educational resources, herbal medicine guides, gardening websites, and biodiversity databases to illustrate identification features of dandelions; serves users seeking plant morphology details, foraging information, or historical botanical art references.
