A dandelion is a flowering plant. Beginning as a seed, it germinates under the right soil conditions and quickly grows into a seedling. At stage 2, it has already completed 1/3 of its lifecycle. Quickly, it becomes a leafy rosette. Then, it develops a bud and begins flowering into a bright yellow flower. Next, it forms into a light, fluffy white ball that has seeds all over. Finally, its fluffy, light weight allows the seeds to be swept up and dispersed easily by wind, planting its seeds again. frm sead tobeing disspersd. From seed to being dispersed, the process takes between 8 to 15 weeks.
