Dandelions are a very common wildflower, they can be seen all year round in grasslands, lawns, verges and pastures. Many insects benefit from the food supplied by the familiar dandelion flower. However, the plant does not need to be pollinated in order to set seed. The flowers develop into seeds, each one being an exact replica of the parent plant. Children have long loved blowing the delicate seeds from the dandelion and counting the number of puffs to tell them the time, Artists have simply been challenged to try and paint them!
