My grandmother thought they were pretty. Perhaps, smarter than we were.
Temperature? I have plenty of other weeds but no dandelions.

You are quite right! I did the same thing as a child with the dandelion seed heads. In one of my grade school classes we learned that the leaves of dandelion are edible so we ate a dandelion salad in class!
Hated having them in my yard as an adult though.
