I can’t help but adore these illustrations. The final image is of a late-blooming dandelion. Please don’t worry if you’re a late bloomer, deep roots take time :-)

All images can be found here.

These illustrations are from the Wurzel atlas. To do these drawings, their analysis and descriptions a group of three researchers from the Pflanzensoziologisches Institut, Klagenfurt (now in Bad Goisern, Austria), led by Prof. Dr. Lore Kutschera (1917-2008) dug up all the roots with a scriber (the metalworking tool) and drew each root. This is the culmination of 40 years worth of work!
