Even people who only see greenery in public parks know dandelions. The plant, which is native to Asia, has made the entire planet its home. Most of us consider it a curse, but we shouldn’t. The dandelion is a leader in the tonic hall of fame. As is obvious from its global colonization, the plant is both tough and adaptable. It grows in a funnel shape so that any falling water rolls right down to the plant’s center, towards the root, where it is needed. The dandelion’s parachute-like seeds blown from the plant in every direction are another adaptation that makes it impossible to eradicate. One white seed head hit with a gust of wind can start 200 or more new plants. ~ Planet Botanic
