My name is Jolene Hayes. I am originally from San Jose, California. I have been her my whole life, living with my Mom. I don't have much experience with gardening, other than a small garden my Mom and I had three years ago, at her friends farm. Her friend grew lots of vegetables, but I wasn't really involved in it. Mom would go to the garden plot and bring home carrots, tomatoes, peppers, squash, and some other foods.
Blogpost #7 - Jolene Hayes Flowers in the Aster or Asteraceae family, including every dandelion species, have a flowered head. The base of the dandelion head is made up of involucre which is a bunch of green bracts. Ligules is what the petals of the dandelion flower are called. The fuzzy ring at the end of a flower is pappus. The pappus develops into a feather like seed. The traits of the pappus are what is needed to seperate the species in this family. There is a very tiny tube inside with nectar. The stigma grows up through the tube where the ovary and pollen are. It is protected by the anthers. The stigma can split in two at the end of it.
