Løvetann , Dandelion( Taraxacum officinale )

This beautiful yellow flower grows everywere at this time of year. We call it Løvetann and if you should translate it directly to english it would be " Lions thooth" , but the english name is Dandelion . Some think this flower is a unwanted plant in the garden, but I think it is the most beautiful of all the flowers in nature this time of year.
