Dandelion seeds are spread by wind. It usually produces small yellow flowers and forms seeds through insect pollination. After all its golden petals fall off, white pompoms will grow on the receptacle, and the seeds are fully mature. At this time, a gust of wind blows over, and its seeds will float to any place with the wind. If it happens to be blown to a place suitable for its growth, its seeds will germinate after the next spring and carry out the next cycle of life.
