Well, having been introduced to the fine cuisine of the dandelion by my =
Italian in-laws I expect much is due to human selection. The most highly =
prized for spring Saut=C3=A9s has very fat delicious flowers still stuck =
inside the leaves before shooting up on the stalk. When prepared (after =
twice boiling to get out the bitter) in a fry of olive oil salt and =
garlic the pump flower head is what provides the most delicious flavour =
and texture :)
With kindest regards

Fernald in Gray's Manual of Botany 8th. ed. says "parthenogenetically =
