Dandelion Life Cycle: From Flower to Seed Dispersal #75880 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration shows two stages of the dandelion’s life cycle: a bright yellow composite flower and a mature white seed head (puffball), with several achenes-each attached to a feathery pappus-floating away. The green, deeply lobed basal leaves anchor the plant, emphasizing its common roadside or meadow habitat. The stylized depiction highlights natural dispersal mechanisms and seasonal transition.
