Dandelion Factoids
Some interesting and informative facts about dandelions.
As a dandelion plant matures, their bright yellow flower turns into a white puff ball of seeds just waiting to be released. The dandelion relies on wind power to distribute its seeds (achnes). Each seed has a disk-like attachement that acts as a parachute to make it easier to travel. The white seeds of the dandelion can be carried away as far as 5 miles from their original location. Other methods of travel include rain runoff and sticking to clothing and animal fur.
