Nothing that weird. However, I did lean a bit about plant evolution. Dandelions developed flat low growing leaves via lawnmowers. More a survival of the fittest thing. Lawn mowers would kill off the high leaf growth ones before seed developed. The low growth ones survived, the mowers actually spreading their seeds.
Dandelions not native to Oregon. Brought here by pioneers who loved their dandelion tea...
