Hieracium Picroides Subsp. Lutescens

Hieracium picroides subsp. lutescens is a lesser-known member of the dandelion family known for its striking yellow flowers. This subspecies thrives in open, sunny habitats such as grasslands and disturbed soils across parts of Europe. Its bright yellow blooms contrast beautifully with its hairy, dark green leaves. While similar to other hawkweeds, it can be distinguished by its unique floral structure and growth pattern. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in supporting pollinators and maintaining ecological balance.
