Dandelion Reproduction
The dandelion has more than one method of reproducing themselves. This gives them multiple ways to spread and makes them more difficult to eradicate. The most common method of dandelion reproduction is through its wind-aided dispersal of seeds which germinate almost year-round. Pollination of the dandelion occurs when insects carry its pollen from one flower to another, but dandelions can also pollinated themselves. Thus, it only takes one single dandelion to reproduce itself and spread all over a lawn. Each dandelion that goes to seed produces between 135-300 seeds.

Dandelion growth is often difficult to control and the plant can be difficult to completely eliminate, since the entire root system of the plant needs to be removed or they can quickly grow right back. The dandelion can regrow an entire new plant from its taproot by sending off new shoots underground. The dandelion does not even need a whole taproot to accomplish this, needing only a mere 2 millimeters of the root to germinate a whole new dandelion.

Dandelion florets are ligulate and possess both male (pollen-producing) and female (seed-producing) parts. The fruits are mostly produced by asexual reproduction (apomixis), without fertilization. Dandelion plants typically have 24 or 40 pairs of chromosomes, but some have 16 or 32 chromosomes

Dandelions are capable of reproducing themselves even when there is not enough sunlight to allow the flower buds to open. In this case, the male parts of the dandelion pollinate the female parts they are pressed up against. The fertile seeds then push their way out of the top of the bud.

?Yep

What’s going on guys?
Anything New happening besides (C19)

I had to go online and order canvas for my brother. Our local craft stores are closed otherwise. I do get to pick up part of the order outside the store. The new part is I hope I don't get too used to it. It fits too well with my totally procrastinating lifestyle as it is...the last thing I need is another excuse to watch the cobwebs in my house.?

Lol.i am mad, lol I have teens.haga

Ours are and k-12, for the rest of the year, I am kinda twisted about the rest of the year though, I get why, but I am worried about next year, and my son not being able to keep up from missing the last part of 11th grade, but on the other hand, I want everyone safe too, so I am just not sure if going back early, or in may into June, would have been better,I guess it will be what it is, just have to see when we get there , I guess
[/QUOTE]
Really and truely, most of school is a repetitive thing. Only adding more difficult problems of the same as they grow older. Although I didn't use them, K12 is a good home school company. My 2 sons after being home schooled a couple of years went back. Home school improved their grades. What I liked about homeschooling was I got to enjoy my teenagers. You can also use many of your daily activities to keep their beedy little brains active...like baking, crafts, or something new, etc...⛅☺

It's Ohio. Yesterday it was 70 ish°. Today it's 50ish°...and it will be for a few days. Not a single day hot enough for Saphire yet. Him and I are chomping at the bit. His first day out in the spring is one of my favorite days to just watch him.

Florida just started theirs. Ohio has had a stay home directive since earlier in March. They just started being more restricted in the stores. I wouldn't be able to stand in a long line to grocery shop anyway. Sooo I'd better get with it and learn how to shop online. Sit on my but and drive, then let them load it...hehehe
