Two #fasciated #dandelions along the #EastLinkRoad in #dundonald this afternoon.
I only ever find these along roads; would this #mutation be caused by #vehicle #fumes? 🤔

A couple of #fasciated #dandelions along the #EastLinkRoad in #Dundonald this morning.
The first appeared to be separate #flowers but the stems were completely #fused.
I tend to see #fasciation close to #roads so would the #mutation be caused by #vehicle #exhaust gases? 🤔

I switched on the #Merlin #app from #CornellLabs on my walk along the #ComberGreenway from #GrahamsbridgeRoad to #EastLinkRoad in #Dundonald and this is what it heard.
Not bad for a Thursday in #February 😎👍
