Identify Different Flowers

Wherever you look, you will see lots of plants. In your garden, local park, around your school or when you go out to the shops or go on a trip in the car or train, you'll see lots of different plants.

Do you know their names?

Have a look at this plant below. Do you know what it's called?

Are these roses,  buttercups, a cactus or dandelions?

Answer: they are dandelions.

They might not look like the dandelions that you know, with bright yellow flowers, but that is because this is the seed head of the dandelion, once the flowers have finished.

You need to know the seed stage as well as the flower stage of a plant if you're going to become a great science detective!
