COVID-19 lockdown: fine art B&W minimalist essence of a dandelion puffball. A Potterton garden, Potterton, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Photos taken while complying with UK Coronavirus lockdown. (unlike the ghastly Dominic Cummings)

A stack of 7 focus points, at a single exposure level. A ring light around the lens and a powerful LED work-light were used to produce the lighting.

Taraxacum (/təˈræksəkʊm/) is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, were introduced from Europe and now propagate as wildflowers. Both species are edible in their entirety. The common name dandelion (/ˈdændɪlaɪ.ən/ DAN-di-ly-ən, from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth") is given to members of the genus. Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taraxacum
