    On my recent travels from Hudson's Hope BC, to Fort St John. I stopped to take a few refreshing Scenic shots with my Camera. And I noticed a plant/weed. It sort of resembles a Dandelion althou none of the leaves did. The Bulb of the plant is large enough to fit in your hand with fingers extended. and leaves were only found on the elbow of the stems. The buds are very elongated as you can see in the picture. Thank you to anyone that can help me out
