How can a dandelion growing in a backyard help a young dandelion growing miles away?

Dandelions growing in your back yard today can help a dandelion grow miles away because when the flower itself dies, it turns into white seed, and when it is windy, or a child blows these seeds away, the seeds travel, and travel and travel until the seeds are able to be fertilized, or until they die.

Remember...

  • They grow because children, or even adults, blow at the seeds for the amusement, and because when you blow on them, there is a belief that you can make a wish, and it will come true.
  • The seeds travel, travel, and travel.
