The Seeding Dandelion is a [[plant]] in ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'', and ''Hey! Pikmin''. In the 3D games, it is even rarer than the [[Dandelion]], appearing only on the [[Perplexing Pool]] and the [[Sniper Room]]. If it's touched, some of its seeds detach and float away. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is much smaller, and Pikmin that touch it stop walking and jump in, until the player whistles them again. Seeds nearly identical to the ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'' versions can also be seen in cutscenes.

==Naming==
==Naming==
The dandelion family’s name is fairly self explanatory. Dandelions in the real world are weeds with yellow flowers that eventually become puffy white balls of seeds. When blown by the wind, the dandelion seeds scatter, taking some fluff with them to act as a mini parachute. These two stages are shown with the Dandelion and Seeding Dandelion plants in Pikmin games respectively.
The dandelion family's name comes directly from its members, the Dandelion and the Seeding Dandelion.

The Dandelion is a rare, yellow-petaled plant in the first two Pikmin games. It only appears on The Forest of Hope, the Awakening Wood and the Snagret Hole, as well as some Challenge Mode locations. It serves merely for decoration.

Seeding Dandelion

Main article: Seeding Dandelion.

The Seeding Dandelion is a plant in Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and Hey! Pikmin. In the main games, it is even rarer than the Dandelion, appearing only on the Perplexing Pool and the Sniper Room. If it's touched, some of its seeds detach and float away. In Hey! Pikmin, it is much smaller, and Pikmin that touch it stop walking and jump in, until the player whistles them again. Seeds nearly identical to the Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 versions can also be seen in cutscenes.

Naming

The dandelion family's name comes directly from its members, the Dandelion and the Seeding Dandelion.

Trivia

  • The Creeping Crysanthemum shares the genus name Taraxacum, even though it is part of the chrysanthemum family. In real life, this is impossible, as different species cannot be in the same genus and different families.
  • The dandelion and chrysanthemum families are considered the same in the Japanese version.
