Hello. Project Noah showcases wildlife spottings to share, enjoy and learn from, as well as to provide observation data for those who might be interested. "Again, as our main purpose is reconnecting people to and documenting wildlife, we prefer that spottings for all organisms be taken in their natural environment wherever possible." (see FAQs). It would be better to photograph the entire plant in its situation rather than plucking a leaf to bring indoors to photograph, because it loses its natural context. And while this leaf does look like a dandelion, for many plant species a solitary leaf may not be sufficient to ID it.
