Leontodon Integerrimus

Tall hawk's-beard, scientifically known as Leontodon integerrimus, is a striking member of the Asteraceae family found in various parts of Europe and Asia. This plant is characterized by its tall, spindly stem and dense clusters of yellow flowers that bloom in late summer. It thrives in dry, open habitats such as grasslands and rocky slopes, often in nutrient-poor soils. Its common name reflects its resemblance to a hawk's beak, a feature that adds to its visual appeal. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its modest size and unassuming appearance.
