Robin's Plantain


Robin's Plantain is found world wide. It is a compound flower, which is a flower that has two flowers making up the one flower. The two different flowers are the disk flowers, they are the many yellow flowers in the shape of a round disk, and approximately eighty ray flowers,  they are the pink petal like flowers that spread out like the rays of the sun. This plant is also called Old Man In The Spring. The name refers to the hairy stem and leaves. This name comes from the Greek, Erigeron which translate, eri - early and geron - old man.

Where I found it : In a meadow
