Taraxacum laevigatum

This much maligned member of the Asteraceae family graces many hillside, yard and dale during the summer months much to the consternation of most gardeners and grounds keepers. As a culinary treat in a green salad it is rich in necessary daily vitamins A, C and K among others. A fact not ignored by Oryctolagus Cuniclus on its evening munching menu. Propagation is accomplished by seed-bearing parachutes riding the summer breezes. When the parachute strikes an object, like a blade of grass or a tree branch, the achene(fruit) is released to fall on the soil below and begin anew.

I like this opinion
