Tough Little Dandelions

1You can find dandelions in many places: in lawns, in parks and even in cracks in the sidewalk. These plants are small, but they are very good at growing and spreading.

2A dandelion flower looks like one yellow flower, but it is really made of many tiny flowers packed together. Bees and other insects visit dandelions to drink their sweet nectar. At night and on cloudy days, the flower head often closes up.

3Later, the yellow flower closes for a while. When it opens again, it has turned into a round white puff. The puff is made of many seeds. Each seed has a fluffy top that works like a tiny parachute. When the wind blows, the seeds float away to new places.

4Under the ground, a dandelion has a long, thick root. This root holds the plant in place and stores food for it. If someone pulls up a dandelion but leaves a piece of the root behind, a new plant can grow from it.
