Dandelion





Dandelion

The dandelion or also known as lions tooth, puffball, and blowball. Dandelions best maintains in moist place where there is a lot of sun. It can also survive in shade, dry place but not as well as in a moist location. Its stem has white milky fluids. Leaves are 5-25 cm long. This plant can grow nearly 12 inches. As it rains there is a root where it can capture some of the water so that it can stay well watered. It is also used as a medicine since the Roman times. It can treat the gall bladder, kidney, gallstones and many other things. Dandelions have grown throughout the Northern hemisphere and in other variety places. No one knows how they’ve spread in so many places. They appear in locations such as in pastures, lawns, waste ground, sand, rocks, sand, and in cracks of concrete.

Good basic information on the dandelion. Try reading your paper out lout to see where there are grammar mistakes, or have someone read it out loud to you! Also, more information on how the dandelion affects its area (what animals eat it? how does it affect other plants?) is needed.
