Groundsel is an annual weed of cultivated or disturbed ground, popping up along field edges, roadside verges and on waste grounds. Branched stems lead to open clusters of yellow flowers that can be seen most of the year, and turn to white, fluffy seedheads. It is these seedheads that led to its Latin name, Senecio, derived from the word for 'old man' - pull the white fluffy seeds from the flower head and they leave behind a bare, dotted 'scalp'.(LINK)
