How Does A Dandelion Adapt To Its Environment?

They 'clone' themselves--this means they can reproduce quickly, but there's very little variation.

Their flowers are vestigial organs,
only the stalk and the bulb are useful to them in reproduction

they can also spread by the roots if memory serves

their seeds:

Their seeds are connected to a stem which has a puff of fibre on the end, this puff of fibre is used to catch air, and helps spread the seeds long distances.

When they are in the ground as a seed they are a dark colour but as they start to breathe the air around them they turn the colour the environment wants them too.
