So i was walking in the park shooting some bugs, when this dandelion caught my eye. Well a dandylion is rather common this time of year, but i never saw one that looking like this.
If you look closely, you can see that its in fact 3 dandelions. Maybe they just grow next to eachother, you might think.

But if you look at the stem of the dandelion you can see something very weird, the 3 flowers are fused together. It was the weirdest thing i saw in a long time, very cool though:

I did leave it there and i hope other people will do the same. Hope to see it later on when the umbrella seeds are on it.
Thanks for looking

I've seen many Dandelions, but I never paid enough attention to notice any unusal ones. I'm going out in the yard and look around. Good job. Thanks for sharing.
 
your welcome.
I just noticed that the flower was rather big for a dandelion. So on closer inspection i noticed the stems were fused. If i got some time, im gonna check on it tomorow, to see if its still there.
 
i went on a search for the 3-flowered dandelion again and was glad to see it was still there. It lost the yellow flowers though, wont be long till its all fluffy :)
