Taraxacum desertorum
Desert dandelion (Taraxacum desertorum) is a perennial dandelion relative from the Caucasus region, found in dry and open habitats. It is a wild species rather than a commonly cultivated garden plant, so care is mainly about hardiness and dry, well-drained conditions.
Taraxacum desertorum is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is called the desert dandelion.
This species can be found in Azerbaijan and throughout the Caucasus.
