Adventures in Mythography
Adventures in Mythography Part Four Synthesis ‘Dandelions are a very widespread flower. Though not native to the United States, they are now found in all 50 of them, as well as most other countries around the world. They spread quickly across any ground if left unchecked. They can be difficult to eradicate in part because they have more than one method of reproducing themselves. This gives them multiple ways to spread. ‘When the seeds detach from the head of the dandelion, the wind catches the fluff and carries it away, often over great distances. The seed is then able to begin life in a new location.’
