The Taracum is a flower that is very common in Europe and the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere, it grows mostly in grassy habids and meadows. The white and fluffy part of the plant (see picture) is considered the fruit. If you hold the Taracum weed in your hand and blow air against it, white pieces will fly away in all directions.
