dandelion petal

Believe it or not, dandelions don't grow on stems but rather, they grow on the crown of the plant at ground level. The flowers also grow on empty stalks that are able to react up to 70cm.

from petal to seeds 40X
Unlike plants that send spores or gametes to fertilize or create a seed, dandelions actually use petals with a seed attached to send them away farther distances. They don't rely on insects such as bees though the bees may be reliant on the other hand. Dandelions may use the process apomixis which is when seeds develop without germination.
