Taraxacum officinale
Dandelion comes from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth". They have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. Many species produce seeds asexually, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
It is found throughout most of the temperate United States.
