Hawkbit update!


For all you Hawkbit fans, I have an important update...

I took a slight diversion to walk through the 30-40 acre urban field (Little Moor) that forms the densest Hawkbit concentration hereabouts; when I discovered that most of the bright yellow flowers I reported just a fortnight ago; have turned into mini- dandelion-clock-style seed heads (each a little less than half the diameter of a dandelion-clock). 

So, it turns out that not just the flower but the seed-heads resemble their cousins who were thriving about three months ago. It is the smaller size and solid (rather than hollow and white-sappy) stalk of the Hawkbit that seems to provide the simplest differentiation.
