Yellow dandelion flowers are common and easily recognizable wildflowers. Scientifically known as *Taraxacum officinale*, dandelions are perennial plants native to Eurasia but now widespread across the world. They are often found in meadows, lawns, and roadsides.

Key features of dandelions include:

- **Bright yellow flowers**: These are composed of many small florets and are typically 1-2 inches in diameter.
- **Toothed leaves**: The name "dandelion" comes from the French "dent de lion," meaning lion's tooth, referring to the sharply lobed leaves.
- **Seed heads**: After flowering, dandelions form seed heads that are round and fluffy, commonly known as "dandelion clocks," which disperse seeds through the wind.

Dandelions are also known for their nutritional and medicinal properties. Their leaves, roots, and flowers are edible and have been used in traditional medicine for various purposes.
