Dandelions (Taraxacum) are here and there in Central Tokyo, heralding the arrival of spring (although it's sometimes still cold).
When I was a kid, dandelions were everywhere also but they were shorter (as far as I remember), so I did some research, finding that the height of dandelions depends on timing. In early spring, they grow low, like covering the ground, to keep warm and become taller as the temperature goes up.
Now, dandelions native to Japan, those native to Europe, and their crossbreeds co-exist. Japan is getting more diverse in terms of not only people but dandelions!

タンポポがあちこちで咲いています。春です！
子供の頃見たタンポポよりすらっとしている気がしたので調べてみました。すると、早春はまだ寒いので、温かい地面に這いつくばるように咲き、気温が上がってくると背が高くなるそうです。
今は、タンポポにも在来種、外来種、雑種もあるとのこと。日本の多様化は、人だけでなくタンポポの間でも進んでいるようです。
