Another kind of lion!
In some places, they're known as the children's flower, because whatever stage they're at - flower or seeds, they bring joy to children. That and children picking them doesn't usually cause any consternation - dandelions are rarely seen as anything other than weeds.
Both flower and seed head are beautiful though.
A weed is simply a plant growing where it isn't wanted.
It makes me wonder... what do I think of as weeds - both in terms of plants, and metaphorical 'weeds' in my life.
