A weed is by definition any plant that you don't want there. Seeds are everywhere.
Plants wanted and not, want to spread. Some are eaten by birds and travel great distances. Where we used to live, dandelions were everywhere. As a kid I used to enjoy blowing the seed balls. Was it my fault? Perhaps many of them.
My grandmother thought they were pretty. Perhaps, smarter than we were.
Temperature? I have plenty of other weeds but no dandelions.
