Life Cycle of a Dandelion
The dandelion can often be spotted spontaneously peeking through the cracks in sidewalks or gracing meadows and begins its life cycle as a tiny seed.
The seeds can be carried by the wind, and find their resting ground in soil, ready to sprout with just a bit of sunlight and rainwater!
During the germination stage, the dandelion seed grows into a rosette of leaves close to the ground, preparing for its next stage of life.
Then, it shoots up a small flower stalk, capped with bright yellow blossoming petals, signaling the mature stage of its lifecycle!
As the dandelion flower matures, it transforms into a globe of fluffy white seed heads, known colloquially as a dandelion puff, your kids can easily blow upon them and the white puffs will fly into the wind!
The wind carries away these seeds, each one a potential bearer of new dandelion life, continuing the cycle of growth, bloom, and rebirth.
