Is dandelion seed or pollen?

The pollen would have been available while the dandelion was still yellow and the bees pollinate; but when it finally seeds it becomes the wisps that blow away. That is nature's way of disbursing the seeds.

Is dandelion seed or pollen?
they are seeds. the pollen would be on the yellow compound flower (actually hundreds of tiny individual flowers). The fluffball of seeds is called a "Clock"
Reply:seed--seeds attached to the white puffy part that blows away is how more dandelions come to be
Reply:The little pieces of fluff that you blew away from a dandelion when you were a kid? Each one of those little fluffs has a minute seed attached to the bottom.
Reply:Dandelions are actually herbs that reproduce by seeds. Those little white parachute looking things are just there to help the seed which is at the very end travel by air to the next destination.
